Erectile Dysfunction May Indicate Doubled Death Risk

Well this is comforting.
A new study suggests that men with heart problems may have double the risk of death if they also suffer from erectile dysfunction...

The researchers found that treatments for the heart disease did little to help men suffering erectile dysfunction, but the erectile dysfunction itself was associated with a death rate almost twice that of men not suffering erectile dysfunction, as well as a doubled risk of heart attack...

"This study adds greatly to what we know about ED and mortality risk, which is relatively little at this point," said Andre Araujo, director of epidemiology for the New England Research Institute.
At least he admits how little they know.
