CONTEXT: Epidemiologic data demonstrate a protective role by normal androgen levels on cardiovascular health and erectile function. Low androgen levels are associated with erectile dysfunction and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Both conditions recognize as anatomic substrate a pathologic structural remodeling. Direct androgen effects on male external genitalia, vascular wall, and myocardium have been reported.

Abstract

CONTEXT: Epidemiologic data demonstrate a protective role by normal androgen levels on cardiovascular health and erectile function. Low androgen levels are associated with erectile dysfunction and increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. Both conditions recognize as anatomic substrate a pathologic structural remodeling. Direct androgen effects on male external genitalia, vascular wall, and myocardium have been reported.
