Erectile dysfunction and cardiac disease: recommendations of the Second Princeton Conference.
Current Urology Reports 2006 November
Erectile dysfunction (ED) has been linked increasingly to cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities. Considering the potential risk associated with sexual activity, guidelines were developed (Princeton I) for assessment and management of patients with varying degrees of cardiac risk. These guidelines were recently updated (Princeton II) based on new data concerning the link between ED and cardiovascular disease and the availability of additional phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors (vardenafil, tadalafil). Despite the need for careful risk assessment in all cases, sexual activity remains safe for the large majority of patients. However, all patients presenting with complaints of ED should be carefully assessed for the presence of cardiovascular risk factors (eg, obesity, hypertension, hyperlipidemia). Risk-factor modification, including lifestyle interventions (eg, exercise, weight loss) is strongly encouraged. Guidelines are presented for the management of acute coronary syndromes in patients taking phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitors, including alternatives to the use of nitrates for these patients. Other drug interactions and the cardiovascular safety of testosterone replacement therapy are considered.
