Prevalence and Clinical Severity of Erectile Dysfunction in Patients Undergoing Coronary Angiography: A Descriptive Cross-Sectional Study at a Tertiary Hospital in Northern Sri Lanka

This study demonstrated a strong association between ED and CAD, and it highlights that ED is an early indicator of underlying CAD. Routine screening for ED in high-risk patients, particularly those with hypertension and diabetes, can improve early detection of CAD and aid in the implementation of preventive strategies. However, the study's limitations, including its single-center design and cross-sectional nature, highlight the need for further multi-center and longitudinal research to validate these findings and explore the potential therapeutic benefits of ED management in cardiovascular disease.
