男人在床上的表现可以表明他们的心脏和动脉有多健康. 根据一项新的研究,勃起功能障碍可能是心脏病发作和中风的一个危险因素.

The study, 周一发表在美国心脏协会期刊《线上电子游戏飞禽走兽》上, 试图确定ED是否是心血管风险的良好预测指标. 先前的研究表明两者之间存在联系,但支持ED作为心血管疾病的独立危险因素的证据有限.

Researchers studied data from nearly 2,000 racially diverse men, with an average age of 69, who had no history of heart disease or stroke. Of those, nearly 46 percent reported having ED symptoms.

After nearly four years, 研究发现,115名有ED症状的男性死于心脏病发作, cardiac arrest or stroke. ED患者发生此类线上娱乐电子游戏网站的次数是非ED患者的两倍多.3 percent versus 2.6 percent.

“勃起功能障碍的诊断与心脏病发作的两倍增加有关, strokes and cardiovascular death beyond traditional risk factors,” said the study’s senior author, Dr. Michael J. Blaha.

Blaha, 巴尔的摩约翰霍普金斯西卡罗内心脏病预防中心临床研究主任, 患有ED的男性应该接受全面的心血管评估.

“It is incredible how many men avoid the doctor, and avoid early signs of cardiovascular disease, but present for the first time with a chief complaint of ED,” Blaha said. “这是一个很好的机会,可以发现其他未被发现的心血管疾病高危病例.”

Dr. Richard Becker, a cardiologist and director of the University of Cincinnati Heart, Lung and Vascular Institute, 他说,这项研究表明,ED可能是心脏病发作和中风的重要早期预测指标.

“医疗保健提供者应将ED作为评估男性心血管风险的一个组成部分. 患者应该意识到ED的潜在影响,并告知他们的医生,” said Becker, who was not involved in the study.

研究表明,ED患者患糖尿病和冠心病家族史的可能性也更大, 他们也更有可能使用药物来治疗抑郁症, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. But even after researchers adjusted for those other risk factors, 他们仍然发现了ED和心血管线上娱乐电子游戏网站之间的独立联系. In fact, Blaha说,这是第一个针对ED和心血管疾病的研究,该研究调整了抗抑郁药和受体阻滞剂的使用,这些药物可能导致ED.

Blaha指出,这项研究没有包括ED的正式测试,而是依赖于参与者报告的症状,而且四年的随访期相对较短.

但他指出,研究小组将继续对这些患者进行为期10年的随访, 他呼吁进行进一步的研究,以确定对ED患者进行早期干预是否可以预防心血管线上娱乐电子游戏网站.

ED——定义为无法达到或维持足够长线上电子游戏飞禽走兽的勃起以达到满意的性行为——是一种常见的情况, affecting at least 12 million U.S. men.

贝克尔说,他希望这项研究能帮助更多的男性认识到制定保持心脏健康策略的重要性.

“Being aware of risk factors, 以及许多广泛可用的保持心脏健康的步骤和机会, are within everyone's reach,” he said.
