Objectives

Narrative objectives1

We focused on hyperlipidemia as a causal factor of atherosclerosis. Improvement of hyperlipidemia is expected to ameliorate atherosclerosis. Early assessment of the degree of atherosclerosis may contribute to the prevention of stroke and ischemic heart disease associated with lifestyle-related diseases. Specific examinations include flow-mediated dilation (FMD), pulse wave velocity (PWV), and carotid ultrasonography; however, all of these require a visit to a medical institution. In contrast, we considered that erectile function might serve as a method of self-assessment for atherosclerosis at an early stage.
Since subjective decline in erectile function correlates with the progression of atherosclerosis, if erectile function can be used as an indicator for early medical intervention in lifestyle-related habits, it may be possible to prevent the progression of atherosclerosis. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether erectile function reflects atherosclerosis and, if so, whether the degree of erectile function is associated with the severity of atherosclerosis.
Furthermore, among patients with erectile dysfunction who are treated with phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors, we investigated whether treatment of hyperlipidemia with pemafibrate influences erectile function.
