Erectile dysfunction significantly affects quality of life in young men. Authors have evaluated erectile function in men with coronary artery disease (CAD) and the relationship between the degree of erectile dysfunction (ED) and the age of their first acute myocardial infarction (AMI). The incidence of erectile dysfunction in three groups of patients of AMI survivors was investigated: AMI survivors younger than 45 years, AMI survivors older than 65 years, and normal male population aged between 30 and 60 years. Erectile function was assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) questionnaire. In post-AMI male patients younger than 45 years ( n = 76), mild ED occurred in 26% and severe in 7%. In the older AMI group, mild ED occurred in 52% and severe in 38%. In the control group age matched to younger survivors, 96% denied ED and only one control patient had a score of 20 on the IIEF-5. A paradoxical result was observed in patients using beta blockers (BB), who had better scores than the group without BB. Statin treatment had a positive influence on the score in questionnaires. Those on statins had an average score of 21.0 ± 4.9 vs. without statin 17.7 ± 5.7, p = .03. The current findings identified that the prevalence of ED is relatively high in young patients with CAD and is related to treatment of the CAD. The overall increase in ED presence suggests that the background of their coronary event is not due to destabilization of single focused atheroma but may reflect a generalized atherosclerotic process.
