Implication

ED may flag subclinical CAD in asymptomatic men; leaves open whether targeted screening improves outcomes.

Structured PICO

Population

Men >40 years of age, particularly those 40-60 years of age with vasculogenic ED, who are asymptomatic for signs and symptoms of CAD.

Intervention

Cardiovascular risk stratification using the 2013 ACC/AHA ASCVD risk score, with subsequent risk factor control, cardiology referral, or non-invasive evaluation (e.g., coronary calcium score) based on risk level.

Outcome

Identification of subclinical cardiovascular disease and reduction of future cardiovascular events.

Erectile dysfunction serves as an early marker for subclinical cardiovascular disease, and its presence in men over 40 should prompt formal cardiovascular risk stratification and management.
