The relationship between endothlial ABD erectile dysfunction, levels of testosterone and cardiovascular events in the follow-up

2016

Background: Clinical and experimental evidence suggest that testosterone levels play a role in cardiac and vascular pathology. A long history of observational studies investigating serum testosterone level and cardiovascular risks, specifically mortality, reveals important associations between low testosterone and mortality, while higher serum testosterone level appear to be predictive in the majority of studies. On the other hand, it is well documented and accepted that endothelial dysfunction is expression of preclinical atherosclerosis and it is associated with an increased amount of CV events in the follow-up. Erectile dysfunction is also an early manifestation of arteriosclerosis assoc…

The progression rate of aortic stenosis: key to tailoring the management and potential target for treatment

2021

: Aortic stenosis is the most frequent valvular disease to require intervention in the western world and has always been featured as a progressive disease. The rate of progression can be assessed by carefully performed Doppler echocardiography and can vary greatly between individuals with a profound impact on prognosis. Unfortunately, the determinants of disease progression had been insufficiently studied and remain challenging to define, particularly in the outpatient setting. Multiple factors have been proposed and tested, but at present, there are no proven therapies to slow the course of the stenotic process. Heart valve clinics may be particularly important to define the progression ra…

Relazione tra disfunzione erettile, livelli di testosterone e funzione endoteliale in pazienti a rischio cardiovascolare intermedio secondo le stime …

2014

Scopo del lavoro Il ruolo dei livelli di testosterone plasmatico e della disfunzione erettile come marcatori precoci di disfunzione endoteliale non è ben definito. Pertanto, abbiamo cercato di analizzare la relazione tra testosterone plasmatico e disfunzione erettile, in rapporto alla funzione endoteliale. Materiali e metodi Abbiamo quindi arruolato 802 pazienti in prevenzione primaria, con una stima di rischio cardiovascolare (CV) intermedio secondo la carta del rischio di Framingham, di età compresa fra 40 e 80 anni, che si sono sottoposti all’esame ecografico della dilatazione flusso mediata dell’arteria brachiale destra, alla valutazione della disfunzione erettile attraverso il question…
