Heart Attack Series Hosted By The Medical Center of Aurora to Help Fight Heart Disease Before It Attacks
Posted on: Thursday, 18 January 2007, 12:00 CST
AURORA, Colo., Jan. 18 /PRNewswire/ -- New research in heart disease and its relationship to other health issues offers earlier detection of cardiac problems.
Research on the strong connection between heart disease and erectile dysfunction (ED) is giving doctors new information about understanding the important connections between these two diseases. One study shows that 64 percent of men who have heart attacks had some degree of erectile dysfunction before they were diagnosed with heart disease.
The same damaging process that reduces blood flow to the heart and contributes to coronary artery disease can also affect blood vessels elsewhere in the body, including those related to ED. Although developing ED is distressing, it may have a silver lining. It could tip off men and their doctor to possible early and more treatable cardiovascular disease.
Medical experts affiliated with The Medical Center of Aurora have teamed up to help educate the community about the relationship between heart disease and related disorders in a free, public information series: Attack Heart Disease -- Before It Attacks You. The first seminar in this series features the relationship between heart disease and ED:
Joel Kaufman, MD Urologist Barry Molk, MD Cardiologist Tuesday, January 23 7:00 pm Aurora City Council Chambers 15151 East Alameda Parkway (First Floor) Aurora, CO 80012
