Why Does Erectile Dysfunction Predict Heart Attacks? - Incoming Cardiologist Explanation

Описание: You're in your 40s. Performance issues started recently. You're embarrassed. Maybe you bought something online to "fix" it.

Stop ✋🏼 That's not a bedroom problem - it's a heart problem.

I'm Dr. Peter Chang, triple board-certified cardiologist in Singapore with over 20 years of experience. And I'm here to share with you something that many people don't know.

Erectile dysfunction is the first physical warning sign of cardiovascular disease. And you typically have a 3-5 year window before other heart related symptoms show.

Here's why (it's pure physics):

Your heart arteries are 3-4mm wide.
The arteries supplying blood flow to an erection are 1-2mm wide.

When plaque builds up systemically (cholesterol, inflammation, high blood pressure), which pipe clogs first? The narrow one.

ED is essentially angina of the pelvis - restricted blood flow. Clinical studies show a 3-5 year gap between vascular ED onset and major cardiovascular events.

If you're experiencing this in your 40s, your body is screaming at you. The plaque is already there. It just hasn't blocked the bigger heart arteries... yet.

The other warning sign? Leg cramping (claudication) when walking or climbing stairs that disappears with rest. That's a heart attack in your leg muscles.

What NOT to do:
❌ Buy blue pills online (masks symptoms, doesn't treat root cause)
❌ Assume it's "just getting old"
❌ Wait for chest pain

What TO do:
✓ Get a vascular audit: lipids, blood pressure, Ankle Brachial Index (ABI)
✓ Treat the rusting pipes, not just symptoms
✓ Use this 3-5 year warning window

This isn't a lifestyle issue. It's a critical medical red flag.

Listen to the signals. Protect the system.
