should never be ignored under any circumstances

OK, so we have written about plenty of research at Ukmedix News which links erectile dysfunction to heart disease but despite this many men ignore impotence problems and just bury their head in the sand instead of getting their health and hearts in order.

According to Dr. Terry Mason, a respected urologist and the chief medical officer at the Cook County Hospitals of Chicago, erectile dysfunction is a dead canary in a coal mine and therefore should never be ignored under any circumstances because it could cost you your life.

In one study published by the Journal of the American Heart Association it was noted that men suffering from erectile dysfunction were 1.6 times more probable to experience severe cardio problems like a heart attack or stroke than men who did not have erectile dysfunction.

Another thing which men should be aware of is that the younger they are when they start to experience erectile dysfunction the more likely they are to have heart problems. For example men who suffer from erectile dysfunction who are under the age of 50 are much more likely to have erectile dysfunction which is linked to a heart problem than men who were over the age of 70.

It is natural for men to start losing erectile function as they get older so if you are experiencing weak erections it does not necessarily mean that you have a heart problem but there is definitely no harm in getting yourself checked out before running off to get a prescription for Viagra, Cialis and Levitra.

One of the reasons why the impotence drugs Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are prescription medications is because of the link between erectile function and heart function. It is good to know that provided you keep your heart healthy you will be able to have good quality erections and therefore good sex well into old age!
