Objectives

The period of recovery after exercise is accompanied by further dynamic changes in autonomic tone which are clinically characterized by the gradual return of heart rate to its previous resting level. This period of heart rate recovery (HRR) results from a combination of sympathetic withdrawal and parasympathetic reactivation. Aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between heart rate recovery (HRR) time in males with or without primary erectile dysfunction (ED).

Material-Methods

60 participants (mean age: 42.0 +/- 8.3 years) were enrolled for this study. Detailed biochemical and hormonal analyses, 12-lead electrocardiography and EST (Treadmill) were performed in all participants. Erectile function was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function 5 (IIEF) questionnaire form. Patients were categorized into two groups according to their IIEF 5 scores as ED (+) (IIEF < or = 21) and ED (-) (IIEF > 21). Afterward, statistical analyses were performed to evaluate the correlations between ED and HRR.
