Endothelial Markers and Tadalafil Response
Endothelial Dysfunction Markers as Predictors of Clinical Response to Daily Tadalafil in Men With Vasculogenic Erectile Dysfunction

Szczegółowy opis
Erectile dysfunction is a common male sexual disorder and is often associated with endothelial dysfunction, impaired nitric oxide bioavailability, inflammation, arterial stiffness, and subclinical atherosclerosis. Because penile arteries are relatively small, vasculogenic erectile dysfunction may appear before overt cardiovascular disease. Brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation reflects endothelial-dependent vasodilation, carotid intima-media thickness reflects structural vascular change, and circulating endothelial biomarkers may provide additional information about endothelial injury and inflammation.
This prospective observational cohort study will recruit men with predominantly vasculogenic erectile dysfunction attending the Urology/Andrology outpatient clinic. Baseline demographic, clinical, sexual, laboratory, vascular, and biomarker data will be collected before treatment. All participants will receive tadalafil 5 mg once daily for 12 weeks. Erectile function will be measured again at follow-up using the IIEF-EF domain, IIEF-5/SHIM, and the Global Assessment Question. The primary outcome is clinical response at 12 weeks, defined as an improvement of at least 4 points in IIEF-EF together with a positive Global Assessment Question response. The study will also evaluate whether baseline endothelial dysfunction markers improve prediction of tadalafil response beyond standard clinical variables.

|
Clinical response to tadalafil at 12 weeks
Ramy czasowe: 12 weeks
|
Proportion of participants achieving clinical response, defined as an increase of at least 4 points in the IIEF-EF domain score from baseline together with a positive response to the Global Assessment Question.
The IIEF-EF domain scores erectile function on a higher-is-better scale; higher scores indicate better erectile function.

|
Change in the International Index of Erectile Function erectile function score.
Ramy czasowe: Baseline to 12 weeks
|
Change from baseline in the erectile function domain of the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-EF).
The IIEF-EF domain is a validated erectile function score, with higher values indicating better erectile function.
|
Baseline to 12 weeks
|
|
Change in Erection Hardness Score
Ramy czasowe: Baseline and12 weeks.
|
Change from baseline in the Erection Hardness Score, a 4-point scale used to assess penile rigidity during erection.
Higher scores indicate firmer erections.
|
Baseline and12 weeks.
|
|
Brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation
Ramy czasowe: Baseline
|
Association between baseline brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation percentage and clinical response to tadalafil.
Flow-mediated dilatation is a functional ultrasound-based measure of endothelial-dependent vasodilation; lower values indicate worse endothelial function.
Baseline FMD will be evaluated as an independent predictor of treatment response.
|
Baseline
|
|
Carotid intima-media thickness
Ramy czasowe: Baseline
|
Association between baseline mean carotid intima-media thickness and clinical response to tadalafil.
Carotid intima-media thickness is a structural ultrasound marker of subclinical atherosclerosis; higher values indicate more advanced vascular wall thickening.
Baseline CIMT will be evaluated as an independent predictor of treatment response.
