| Popis: | Purpose: To investigate (i) the prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in male patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD), and (ii) the association between ICD, indication, therapy and poor sexual outcome. Methods: This cross-sectional study included male patients with ICD. Inclusion criteria were NYHA I-II. Exclusion criteria were no partner and no known urinary tract diseases. Participants completed the International Index of Erectile Function questionnaire that concerns sexual function and meet psychometric criteria for test reliability and validity. The study was conducted as a postal survey and questionnaires were mailed out to 818 patients from two university hospitals. Data on indication (primary prevention vs secondary prevention) and therapy (shock and antitachycardia pacing ) was collected from local databases. Results: Data from the 370 responders (response rate 45.2 %) were analyzed. Mean age of patients was 63.9 ± 12.1. International Index of Erectile Function total mean score was 39.6 ± 24.2 (scale range 5 to 75, with higher score indicating better function). The Erectile Function domain mean score was 14.5 ± SD 11.5 (Scale range 1 to 30). The Erectile Function domain was distributed between 48.9 % having severe ED, 7.6 % moderate ED, 7.0 % moderate to mild ED, 7.0 % mild ED and 29.5 % having no ED. Age was highly associated with ED (OR 0.91, 95% CI: 0.88-0.93). Adjusted for age, ED was associated with therapy from the ICD (OR 1.84, 95% CI: 1.07-3.2) and primary prevention indication (OR 1.90, 95% CI: 1.19 - 3.06) compared to patients having an ICD on secondary prevention indication. Conclusions: Erectile dysfunction was present in more than 70 % of male patients with ICD and more than 48 % had severe erectile dysfunction, resulting in inability to perform a sexual intercourse. Age, primary prevention indication and therapy from the ICD were all associated with a poor sexual outcome. |
