Thread 'Tadalafil Use in Cardiovascular Disease'

Mar 2, 2025

Abstract

Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase inhibitor currently approved for use in erectile dysfunction (ED), benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). While tadalafil’s benefits in ED and BPH have been well-established for years, its benefits in PAH were identified only recently in major clinical trials, resulting in the recent approval of a single tablet, combination therapy of tadalafil with an endothelin receptor antagonist for PAH. With Tadalafil’s cardiovascular benefits in ED, BPH, and PAH, clinical researchers have begun investigating...

Thread 'Muscle Mass, Testosterone & Erections: The Doctor's Blueprint for Men’s Health'

Aug 12, 2025

* the best overall marker for overall health in men is ERECTILE FUNCTION


* One of the most striking points from the discussion was Dr. Kohler’s perspective on erectile dysfunction (ED). He described it not just as a sexual problem, but as one of the earliest "check engine lights" for heart disease. The blood vessels to the penis are smaller than those in the heart, so plaque buildup (atherosclerosis) affects them first. Persistent erection issues can signal vascular problems that may soon affect your heart.

Thread 'Erectile dysfunction: A vital sign for cardiovascular health'

Aug 15, 2025

* The P4 panel recommendations confirm that ED is a strong, independent predictor of cardiac events, even when traditional risk factors such as cholesterol, diabetes and blood pressure are controlled for. In short, ED is the body's "check engine light" for heart disease.


* Phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors — such as sildenafil and tadalafil — remain first line therapy for ED. The P4 recommendations, however, suggest that these medications may offer more than symptom relief. Multiple large studies show that men taking PDE5 inhibitors have lower rates of heart...

Thread 'Struggling with ED? Dr. Jeff Albaugh Breaks Down Causes, Treatments, and How to Take Back Control'

Aug 18, 2025

Great presentation!

I have been stressing this numerous times over the years.

ED is multifactorial and vascular issues are the most common cause.

Stop getting caught up on T, DHT, estradiol let alone the myth that one needs high FT/DHT!

T plays a small role.




What about testosterone?

* testosterone is a hormone that works all over the body and it has a small role with erections but it has a big role with libido or sex drive so it is important but the key essential components is blood flow and nervous conduction


* deep sleep is critical to...

Thread 'Penile Doppler Explained: Normal Study vs Arterial Insufficiency and Venous Leak'

Aug 23, 2025

Penile Doppler ultrasound is a vital tool for evaluating vascular causes of erectile dysfunction. In a normal study, adequate arterial inflow is demonstrated by a peak systolic velocity (PSV) greater than 30–35 cm/s, and proper venous occlusion is confirmed by a low end diastolic velocity (EDV) approaching zero. This pattern supports the achievement and maintenance of a firm erection. In contrast, the abnormal case shows a PSV less than 25 cm/s, indicating arterial insufficiency, and a persistently elevated EDV of 5–9 cm/s with continuous diastolic flow...

* You need to lose about 75% of the lumen of the coronary artery before you get your first cardiac symptom but if you lose even a small amount of the very small penile artery you get sexual problems
