Study of Erectile Function Changes After Coronary Intervention in Men With Heart Attack or Stable Angina

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating erectile function changes in male patients who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention PCI for either a heart attack or stable angina. The study aims to understand how myocardial infarction affects erectile function over time and to explore whether erectile dysfunction can predict future cardiac events. This observational study compares erectile function between patients with myocardial infarction and those with stable angina using standardized questionnaires. Participants are grouped into two sets those treated with PCI after a heart attack and those treated due to stable angina. Erectile function is assessed at baseline after recovery from PCI, and at 3 and 6 months post-procedure using the International Index of Erectile Function IIEF questionnaire. Additional assessments include the Beck Depression Inventory and Fear of Cardiac Recurrence and Progression Scale. Researchers also collect clinical data such as cardiac vessel scores, ejection fraction, testosterone levels, body measurements, medication use, and the intervention method. During the study, male participants aged 30 to 75 will complete face-to-face interviews and questionnaires at specified intervals baseline, 3 months, and 6 months after PCI. The study measures changes in erectile function scores over time and examines associations with cardiac health, depression, and anxiety symptoms. Safety and participation are monitored throughout the follow-up period. The total duration of involvement is up to 6 months, with evaluations focusing on erectile function and related health parameters.
