She emphasizes that ED signals underlying blood‑vessel or blood‑flow problems that often precede cardiovascular disease. Citing studies, she notes that roughly 46% of men who experience ED will suffer a heart attack within five years. Consequently, she urges men with ED to seek prompt medical evaluation—just as they would for chest pain—because the condition is a red‑flag for potential heart disease.
