Erectile Dysfunction as the First Symptoms of Cardiovascular Disease
Erektilní dysfunkce jakoprvní příznak kardiovaskulárníhoonemocnění
Dvě předkládané kazuistiky demonstrují, jak pacient mající pocit plného zdraví, který vyhledallékaře buď v rámci preventivní prohlídky, nebo (pro něho v podstatě banální) poruchy erektivity,v relativně krátké době onemocněl závažnou chorobou z okruhu kardiovaskulárních či metabolickýchchorob. Takový pacient může profitovat ze zodpovědného přístupu lékaře prvníhokontaktu, protože pokud totiž tento lékař nepovažuje erektilní dysfunkci za banalitu a provedeřádné komplexní vyšetření místo pouhé symptomatické léčby, dojde ke stanovení konečnédiagnózy podstatně dříve a za okolností pro další vývoj onemocnění daleko pro pacientapříznivějších.
Klíčová slova:
kardiovaskulární onemocnění - erektilní dysfunkce - metabolické choroby.

Overview
The two submitted case-reports demonstrate how a patient with the impression of completehealth who attended his doctor either within the framework of a preventive examination or onaccount of (an according to him trivial) impairment of erectivity developed within a relativelyshort time serious cardiovascular or metabolic disease. Such a patient may benefit froma responsible approach of a first line physician, because if this doctor does not consider theimpaired erectile dysfunction as trivial and will make a comprehensive examination instead ofgiving mere symptomatic treatment the final diagnosis will be established much sooner andunder conditions more favourable for the further development of the patient’s disease.
Key words:
cardiovascular disease - erectile dysfunction - metabolic diseases.
