Erectile dysfunction: Warning of Heart Disease

Erectile dysfunction is ability when a man fails to attain or maintain erection during the sexual performance. This disorder may be a sign which shows a risk of heart disease. Because the factors that cause heart diseases also cause erectile dysfunctions.
Though erectile dysfunction is stressful it is not life threatening, but a heart disease can be. Erectile dysfunction also known as impotence can be the early sign for heart diseases. Therefore it is most important to understand the link between two and try to get the solution for treatment.
The primary disorder of heart is Atherosclerosis which is hardening of arteries. This is buildup of plaques in arteries and in very different parts of body. This plaque is formed by the excess fats and cholesterol deposition in arteries. It causes the arteries to narrow and harden which stops the blood circulation to some parts of body.
Arteries which supply blood to the penis are smaller compared to other, and if they are disturbed the flow of blood becomes insufficient for the erection causing impotence. Heart disorders thus take place when arteries fail to supply blood to the heart. This can further increase the risk of the stroke and other cardiovascular disorders.
