ED and the link to CVD8

ED can be a warning sign of cardiovascular disease (CVD). CVD describes conditions that affect the heart or blood vessels, including angina, heart attack and stroke. It is usually associated with blocked blood vessels. The blood vessels in the penis are smaller and narrower than blood vessels elsewhere. Therefore, they can become blocked with fatty deposits more quickly.

Penile artery 1-2mm
Supplies blood to the penis
Coronary artery 3-4mm
Supplies blood to the heart
Carotid artery 5-7mm
Supplies blood to the brain and face
Femoral artery 6-8mm
Supplies blood to the thigh and leg

IMPORTANT!

This is why men who purchase VIAGRA CONNECT® OTC should see their GP within 6 months for a health check up.

Top tip:
Remember, you can remind customers with CVD that they can discuss other health concerns in private with the pharmacist.
