Erectile Dysfunction a Red Flag for Mortality, Cardiovascular Events

Of course, the flag is at half-mast, if you know what I mean.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a robust predictor of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events in men with cardiovascular disease or those with risk factors, new data show.

ED and cardiovascular disease both are associated with endothelial dysfunction, "so it was reasonable to assume that ED was related to cardiovascular outcomes and possibly both cardiovascular-related and all-cause death."

And guess what is linked to ED.
