Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to determine the effect of fluvastatin on penile arterial blood flow and erectile function in patients with arteriogenic ED and cardiovascular risk factors
Detailed Description:
Physiology of erection is mainly dependent on endothelial NO-production with consecutive activation of guanylate-cyclase Pleiotropic effects of statins are well known regarding the increase of endothelial function Thus activation of endothelial NO-synthase could raise the activation of guanylate-cyclase with a consecutive relaxation of smooth muscle cells in the penile arteries and the corpus cavernosum leading to an improvement of erectile function Therefore statins are supposed to be effective in the treatment of erectile dysfunction especially in patients with cardiovascular risk-factors with underlying endothelial dysfunction
The effect of fluvastatin on penile blood-flow and erectile function in patients with arteriogenic erectile dysfunction and cardiovascular risk factors will be determined in a cross-over design Patients were either treated with fluvastatin-sodium 80mg or placebo for 8 weeks After a wash-out of 4 weeks treatment will be switched placebo fluvastatin-sodium Penile blood flow measurement and assessment of erectile function with the IIEF-5-score and the KEED-score will be performed at baseline after 8 weeks of treatment after 4 weeks wash-out and after cross-over treatment 8 weeks
