Future perspectives for PDE5 inhibitors bridging the gap between cardiovascular health and psychological status by Andrea Sansone, Eugenia Guida, Susanna Dolci, Valeria Frangione, Amanda Asso, Gilberto Bellia, Emmanuele A. Jannini

Findings from a number of laboratories and clinics around the world unanimously demonstrated the following: (i) the major cause of ED is directly or indirectly related to cardiovascular disease (CVD); (ii) ED and CVDs share the same risk factors, which are related mainly to lifestyle choices; (iii) the first therapeutic approach to both ED and CVDs is to transform harmful lifestyles into virtuous lifestyles; and (iv) PDE5is in general, particularly sildenafil, are very safe, if not protective, for use in CVD patients. …”
