Why the study?
Patients with ED may show early endothelial and vascular impairment without overt cardiovascular disease, but the relationship between echocardiographic EAT and PAT thickness and ED severity in patients without systemic comorbidities was unestablished.

In men without known cardiovascular comorbidities, moderate-to-severe erectile dysfunction is associated with increased epicardial and pericardial adipose tissue thickness, suggesting these echocardiographic markers may help identify early subclinical vascular risk.

Yeni et al. (2026) conducted a cohort in Erectile dysfunction (n=58). Moderate-to-severe erectile dysfunction vs. Mild erectile dysfunction to normal erectile function was evaluated on Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness (p=0.0015).
