Abstract:Introduction: Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be an early manifestation of coronary artery disease (CAD). The SYNTAX score (SS) is used in grading CAD complexity by evaluating lesions on angiography. The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between ED severity and SS in patients with CAD who underwent coronary angiography.
The study reports a significant association between increased levels of plasma miR-33 and CAD. Thus, plasma miR-33 appears to be a promising non-invasive biomarker, but requires further validation in a large cohort.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
