Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the inability to attain and/or maintain penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. Many conditions predispose to ED, which include diabetes, hypertension, smoking, stress and many more. The pathophysiology of ED is mainly vasuculogenic and it is for this reason it is thought that ED and heart disease mainly coronary artery disease are closely related. ED has been shown to precede coronary artery disease and it is this earlier onset of ED that is thought to predict the existence of latent or silent coronary artery disease
