Abstract

Currently, erectile dysfunction affects a great number of men. This dysfunction negatively impacts their quality of life and, in many of them, it is the first symptom of impending myocardial infarction. In the treatment of erectile dysfunction, phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors are the recommended first-line treatment. European Association of Urology Guidelines updated 2015 recommend the use of PDE5 inhibitors, including avanafil, which sets a new standard for safety and efficacy in the treatment of erectile dysfunction due to its unique properties.
