Abstract

Arterial hypertension can be diagnosed in approximately 30% of Polish people. It is a wellknown fact that arterial hypertension leads to cardiovascular diseases. Lately, coexistence of arterial hypertension and erectile dysfunction in men arouse physicians’ interest. In Poland, erectile disorders are diagnosed in approximately 1.5 million men over 35 years of age. Erectile disorders can be caused both by arterial hypertension and, as a side effect, by hypotensive drugs. Nebivolol is one of the few hypotensive drugs not affecting sexual quality of life negatively and probably even affecting it positively.
