Heart is rightly called the powerhouse of the body as every
action and reaction in our body, either physical or emotional
owes its relationship to the heart. If you fall in love
it is called a matter of the heart and if you have 'performance
problems' in lovemaking it may serve as an early warning
sign for today's most notorious lifestyle diseases - heart
disease. Here 'performance problem' is referred to sexual
dysfunction in men when a man is unable to achieve
or maintain an erection necessary for sexual activity, to
satisfy his needs or that of his partner. This condition
in men is medically termed erectile
dysfunction (ED) or commonly impotence.
Performance problems in bed do not necessarily indicate
impotence unless the condition persists continuously for
a prolonged period of time. Research has proved that there
is an intricate co-relation between erectile dysfunction
and an impending cardiovascular disease. Erectile dysfunction
is mainly caused by the hardening or clogging of penile
arteries caused by high levels of cholesterol or arterial
damage, generating plaque deposition in the 2mm diameter
blood vessels leading to the penis which does not allow
enough blood flow to the penis on sexual arousal. Since
blockage of blood vessels in the penis occurs earlier than
in the carotid and coronary arteries, ED is often the first
signals of heart disease that the men's body sends out.
Latest studies reveal that erectile dysfunction may be
caused by a reduced amount of nitric oxide in the blood
vessels of the penis. In men suffering from impotence the
level of nitric oxide are low, so blood vessels cannot allow
blood to reach the penis. In such a situation, Viagra,
the prescription oral ED treatment drug can be regarded
as the perfect choice. Viagra, since its launch has been
a favorite among its consumers and doctors alike. Its main
active ingredient Sildenafil citrate works
by enhancing the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical that
relaxes smooth muscles in the penis during sexual stimulation
and allows increased blood flow thus facilitating erection.
Viagra taken an hour before sexual activity ensures performance
for 4 hours. But if we sideline pleasure for the moment
and concentrate on the equation between ED and heart, there
is a deeper concern for the matter.
Experts recommend that instead of just getting a prescription
to treat the condition, men suffering from erectile dysfunction
should see a physician who can check for underlying vascular
problems. So along with outshining your performance with
Viagra as your aid; have a cardiac stress test done to be
sure and safe for, you are doing everything for 'Matters
of the Heart'.
