“…The results of the research of Culha et al [28] demonstrated that both Castelli's risk index CR-1 (total cholesterol/HDL) and AIP (atherogenic index of plasma) have a positive correlation with the severity of erectile dysfunction. The authors believed that patients with higher CR-1 and AIP values were likely to have a more severe erectile dysfunction in the future.…”

Background: A diagnosis of a cardiac arrhythmia can affect marital relations and diminish libido and satisfaction with a patient's sex life. The aim of the study was to assess the factors that affect marital satisfaction in men with an arrhythmias who had qualified for cardiac pacemaker implantation. Methods: The study included 103 men (aged 58.28 ± 8.72) with recognized heart rhythm disorders who were hospitalized in Department of Electrocardiology. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the International Erectile Function Index (IIEF) and the Index of Marital Satisfaction (IMS) were used in this research. Results: The greater the severity of the anxiety (r ¼ 0.2492, p ¼ 0.011) and depression symptoms (r ¼ 0.3735, p ¼ 0.000), the less satisfied a patient was with the relationship. An analysis showed that depression (p ¼ 0.000), sexual desire (p ¼ 0.001), overall satisfaction (p ¼ 0.009), erectile function (p ¼ 0.0162) and intercourse satisfaction (p ¼ 0.026) are important predictors of marital satisfaction. Only sexual desire was an important predictor of marital satisfaction in patients with sinus node dysfunction, while the depression, sexual desire and overall satisfaction results were predictors in patients with atrioventricular blocks. Conclusion: Anxiety and depression symptoms affect the assessment of marital satisfaction in men with a heart rhythm disorder. Different factors influence marital satisfaction for different heart rhythm disorders.

“…In recent studies, it has been observed that these ratios such as CRI-1/2 are more susceptible than the conventional lipid biomarkers in predicting CVD (Culha, Canat, et al, 2020;Kalelioglu et al, 2017;Uslu et al, 2017). Specific ratios of plasma lipid levels have been reported to be significantly stronger predictors than HDL-C or LDL-C plasma levels in predicting CVD risk (Nwagha et al, 2010).…”

Premature Ejaculation (PE) is considered the most common sexual dysfunction that affects approximately 15%-30% of men over the age of 18. (Laumann et al., 1999). According to the definition of PE made by the International Society of Sexual Medicine (ISSM) in 2014, lifelong PE (a) ejaculation is always or almost always within 1 min before vaginal penetration or after vaginal penetration, (b) inability to delay ejaculation and (c) this situation creates frustration, bother, mental distress and sexual avoidance problems in the individual (Serefoglu et al., 2014). Acquired PE (APE) is separated from lifelong PE with the onset of the PE complaint in individuals with previous normal ejaculation performance and the ejaculation within approximately 3 min (Serefoglu et al., 2014). Despite its high prevalence, controversies about the definition, classification and hence treatment of PE still continue (Saitz & Serefoglu, 2015). All organs that function in the body need oxygen and a proper blood flow to achieve function. Many studies have determined that hypoxia, ischaemia and oxidative stress caused by arterial obstructive diseases such as atherosclerosis are among the factors affecting male sexual dysfunction (Bolat et al., 2017; Thompson et al., 2005). While disorders in serotonin biosynthesis play a role in lifelong PE, many factors are observed in APE aetiology. (Culha, Tuken et al., 2020). Gao et al. (2013) stated that patients suffering from PE suffer from comorbidity such as chronic prostatitis, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular (CV) diseases and

“…Endothelial dysfunction is at the beginning of these mechanisms [13]. A positive correlation between the severity of ED in men with a high atherogenic index has recently been demonstrated [14]. The IIEF-5 test is a well-established method to evaluate ED [9].…”

Aim: Myocardial performance index (MPI) is an easy-to-apply and non-invasive method that shows both systolic and diastolic functions of the heart. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the relationship between erectile dysfunction (ED) and MPI. Methods: The study included 45 male patients admitted to the urology outpatient clinic for ED and 48 healthy male volunteers. Echocardiographic evaluation of all participants was performed. Isovolumetric contraction time (IVCT), isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT) and ejection time (ET) were measured. MPI was calculated using the IVCT þ IVRT/ET formula. Results: The average age of the study population was 50 ± 5.3. Early diastolic mitral inflow (E)/ late diastolic mitral inflow (A) ratio was significantly lower in the ED group (p 0.05). In the TDI evaluation between the groups, while early diastolic mitral annular velocity (Em) was significantly higher in the ED group, there was no significant difference in late diastolic mitral annular velocity (Am) and systolic peak velocities (Sm) (p < 0.01 and p ¼ 0.417 and p ¼ 0.092, respectively). While IVRT was significantly lower in the ED group (p < 0.05), there was no significant difference in IVCT and ET (p ¼ 311 and p ¼ 0.261, respectively). MPI was statistically significantly higher in the ED group (p < 0.05). Conclusion: ED has been found to affect MPI. This parameter, which is easily and non-invasively measured, can be used to predict the risk of CVDs in ED.
