Erectile dysfunction is prevalent among 62 out of 100 patients with ischaemic heart disease, impacting their quality of life.
Age was identified as the sole predictive factor for erectile dysfunction, with an odds ratio of 1.12 and significant correlation with anxiety levels.
Psychological assessments revealed 32% had severe anxiety and 14% had severe depression, highlighting the mental health challenges faced.
Findings underline the need for physicians to consider psychological factors when treating patients with erectile dysfunction alongside heart disease.
