A short YouTube video by Anne Truong MD explaining how high cholesterol can cause blood flow restriction that affects the heart and the penis. The speaker analogizes a heart attack to a 'penis attack' to convey that erectile dysfunction is fundamentally a blood flow problem related to arterial narrowing.

I just wanted to show you schematically what blood flow restriction is like and how you can have blood flow restriction of high cholesterol, which you see on here, and how it's affecting your heart. So having a heart attack, it's essentially having ED ing your penis is like. It's similar to, like, a penis attack. Right? A heart attack is the same way. You're not getting enough blood flow to your heart, so ED is a blood flow problem.
