Cardiac sexology: Can We Save a Patient's Life and His Love Life?

At the European Society of Sexual Medicine (ESSM) annual meeting in November 2007, Eli Lilly and Company sponsored a symposium entitled ‘Cardiac sexology: can we save a patient's life and his love life?’ The aim of this meeting was not only to give participants valuable information about the etiologic links between erectile dysfunction (ED) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), but also to provide a glance into a future that I would like to call ‘Cardiac Sexology’ and how this might affect clinical practice.
