Erectile dysfunction (ED) isn’t just about performance — it’s often one of the first signs of heart trouble.
The same arteries that supply blood to the heart also supply blood to the penis, so when circulation slows down, both can suffer.
A recent study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that men taking both nitrate-based heart medications and ED drugs like Viagra or Cialis faced a higher risk of heart-related events. That’s because both increase nitric oxide activity and widen blood vessels — leading to dangerous drops in blood pressure when used together.
So what’s the takeaway?
Heart health and sexual health go hand-in-hand — literally. The stronger your cardiovascular system, the better your performance in all areas of life.
