The Prognostic Role of Residual SYNTAX Score in the Recovery of Erectile Function Following Myocardial Infarction Treated with Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
RSS ≥8 may identify men at increased risk for persistent ED after MI. The differential recovery patterns suggest that reversible functional impairment may predominate in milder forms of ED, whereas persistent severe ED may reflect more extensive systemic and penile vascular disease. Early recognition of anxiety and targeted sexual counseling may support erectile recovery following PCI.
