Важным механизмом, объединяющим ЭД и ССЗ, служит эндотелиальная дисфункция, поражающая различные сосудистые системы и в т.ч. эндотелий кавернозных тел. Последнее снижает синтез и/или биодоступность оксида азота, являющегося основным медиатором эрекции. Системный характер сосудистого поражения у больных артериогенной ЭД подтверждается наличием у них признаков эндотелиальной дисфункции крупных артериальных сосудов и объясняет повышенную вероятность наличия скрытой ишемической болезни сердца. Это подчеркивает важность активного раннего выявления ЭД не только врачами-урологами, но также кардиологами и терапевтами, для которых наличие у больного ЭД должно свидетельствовать о необходимости более тщательного обследования и раннего начала лечения.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>More and more experimental and clinical data confirm that typically, arteriogenic form of erectile dysfunction (ED) is not a late complication of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but an early manifestation of systemic vascular pathology. One important mechanism, common for both ED and CVD, is endothelial dysfunction, affecting various vascular basins, including penis corpus cavernosus. The latter effect results in decreased synthesis and/or bioavailability of NO – the main erection mediator. Systemic character of vascular pathology in arteriogenic ED patients is confirmed by associated large artery endothelial dysfunction, and explains previously demonstrated increased risk of latent coronary heart disease in ED males. This emphasizes the importance of aggressive early ED diagnostics not only by urologists, but also cardiologists and therapeutists. ED presence points to the need for more detailed examination and early intervention.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>эректильная дисфункция</kwd><kwd>сердечно-сосудистые заболевания</kwd><kwd>эндотелий</kwd><kwd>эндотелиальная дисфункция</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Erectile dysfunction</kwd><kwd>cardiovascular disease</kwd><kwd>endothelium</kwd><kwd>endothelial dysfunction</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">NIH Consensus development conference statement.
