ED is the persistent inability to attain and/or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance • ED is caused by various vascular, neuronal, hormonal and metabolic factors, mediated by endothelial and smooth-muscle dysfunction • Although most causes of ED are physical, some are due to psychosexual issues; nevertheless, all patients with ED should have a history, examination and investigations performed, even if a psychological cause is suspected • ED is a cardiovascular (CV) risk factor, posing a risk equivalent to that of current, moderate smoking • ED is also an important marker for future CV events, with symptoms occurring some 3–5 years before an event2,3 • The physical and psychosocial effects of ED can significantly affect the quality of life of patients and their partners4

Diabetes (ED may be the first symptom in up to 20% of men)
Dyslipidaemia (may not require treatment according to primary prevention guidelines, but may be a major reversible component in ED)
Occult cardiac disease (in an otherwise asymptomatic man, ED may be a marker for underlying coronary artery disease)
Testosterone deficiency (TD; a reversible cause of ED that may not require specific ED treatment, and which also has other long-term health implications)
Associated lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS)/benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) (ED and LUTS severity are closely related, and treatments for one condition may beneficially or adversely affect the other)
