As if a blow to one’s masculinity weren’t bad enough. Researchers now say that for men over 40, having trouble getting or maintaining an erection is often a sign of something more worrying: cardiovascular disease. Indeed, there’s growing consensus that erection problems are a risk factor for heart disease, right up there with smoking and high blood pressure. Impotence — or erectile dysfunction, as it’s sometimes called — was once deemed chiefly a psychological problem. When it occurs in men in their 20s and 30s, it often is. Since men are all too aware when their erections begin to flag, erectile dysfunction may serve as a useful early warning sign of cardiovascular problems. In a British study that compared 207 men with heart disease with 165 healthy controls, investigators at Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College found that erectile woes can precede such problems as a heart attack or angina by up to five years. For men over 40, erection problems may be an early sign of heart disease. A flagging erection may precede cardiovascular problems like a heart attack or angina by up to five years. Exercise, weight loss and lowering cholesterol may help improve erections. Erectile dysfunction drugs don’t work for up to 30 percent of men.
