Patients with cardiovascular diseases frequently complain of erectile dysfunction especially when treated with beta-blockers. In order to assess whether the effect of beta-blockers on erectile dysfunction is in part related to patient knowledge of the drug side effects, 96 patients (all males, age 52+/-7 years) with newly diagnosed cardiovascular disease and not suffering from erectile dysfunction entered a two phase, single cross over study.
