"Erectile Function After PCI in MI and Non-MI Patients"

Erectile Function After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention in Myocardial Infarction and Non-Infarction Patients: A Prospective Comparative Study.


Sponsor

Enrollment

100 participants

Start Date

Study Type

OBSERVATIONAL

Conditions

Summary

The goal of this observational study is to assess changes in patients' erectile function after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using a standard IIEF (International Index of Erectile Function) questionnaire at 1, 3, and 6 months post-PCI. By doing this, we try to compare patients' responses to PCI after having a heart attack and stable angina to see the real effect of myocardial infarction on erectile function status in the long term by comparing it with a very similar group.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is looking at how a heart procedure called PCI (a minimally invasive procedure to open blocked coronary arteries) affects sexual function in men — specifically whether a heart attack versus stable chest pain before the procedure makes a difference in recovery of erectile function afterward. **You may be eligible if:** - You are a male between 30 and 75 years old - You recently had a successful PCI procedure for either a heart attack or stable chest pain (angina) - You were sexually active in the 3 months before joining the study - You are stable after your procedure and willing to complete follow-up visits at 3 and 6 months **You may NOT be eligible if:** - You have an active or recently treated cancer - You have a neurological condition that already affects sexual function (e.g., spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis) - Your diabetes is poorly controlled (HbA1c above 9%) - You have severe kidney, liver, or lung disease, or take more than 3 daily medications - You had serious complications after PCI (reinfarction, stroke, or heart failure) - You do not have a sexual partner or are not sexually active Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
