Dr. Anne Truong explains that 67% of men with untreated ED have a cardiac event within 7-10 years, with two-thirds of those fatal. ED signals vascular problems that can lead to heart attack, so men need a full cardiovascular evaluation, not internet self-treatment.

67% of men with untreated ED have a cardiac event or heart attack within 7 to 10 years. And 67% of those are fatal, mean death. So ED is not just about sex. It's about your body waving a red flag and say, "Hey, there's some blood vessel problem going on here. You need to look at this because if you don't, it's gonna progress to a heart attack." 7 to 10 years down the road, it could even be fatal. So it's not something that you want to treat yourself. It's not something that you could just look on the internet to treat, because would you do that if you have a heart attack? You will call 911, try to get to the hospital as fast as you can. Why are you doing that to ED? ED is just a warning sign, just a decade before the heart attack will happen. So you need to take it seriously and go see the doctor to get a full evaluation.
