Die Krankheitsbilder der erektilen Dysfunktion (ED) und der koronaren Herzkrankheit (KHK) sind häufig miteinander vergesellschaftet [10]. Aufgrund ihrer hohen Prävalenz (allein in den USA leiden etwa 20 Millionen Männer an einer erektilen Dysfunktion, ca. 11 Millionen haben eine KHK) stellen sie für viele Männer ein relevantes Problem dar. Im Folgenden geben wir einen Überblick über den Zusammenhang vin sexueller Aktivität und Auftreten eines kardialen Ereignisses, das diagnostische Vorgehen sowie die medikamentöse Behandlung beim Herzpatienten mit erektiler Dysfunktion.
Die penile Erektion ist das Resultat einer komplexen Interaktion von vaskulären, neurologischen, hormonellen und psychischen Faktoren [39]. Für das Zustandekommen einer Erektion sind ein adäquater arterieller Bluteinstrom in sowie eine effiziente Reduktion des venösen Blutrückflusses aus den Corpora cavernosa des Penis erforderlich. Daher können Krankheitsprozesse des arteriellen bzw. venösen Gefäßsystems einen negativen Einfluss auf die Erektionsfähigkeit haben. Risikofaktoren der KHK wie Diabetes mellitus, Adipositas, körperliche Inaktivität, Hyperlipidämie, Nikotin und Bluthochdruck gehen oft mit einer ED einher [13] [14] [22]. Häufig verschriebene Medikamente wie β-Blocker, Diuretika, Digoxin und Lipidsenker werden für das Zustandekommen einer ED verantwortlich gemacht [20]. Die Inzidenz einer erektilen Dysfunktion nach Myokardinfarkt beträgt zwischen 38 % und 78 % [23].
