The Cardiovascular and Sexual Health Clinic

The Cardiovascular and Sexual Health Clinic is the result of a unique collaboration between the specialties of Cardiovascular medicine and Urology and will focus on the reciprocal association between sexual dysfunction and cardiovascular disease and will offer comprehensive cardiovascular and urologic evaluation to patients with sexual dysfunction and early cardiovascular or peripheral vascular disease or without established disease but with clear risk factors for the development of cardiovascular disease. The clinic was created in recognition of the close interrelationship between both cardiovascular health and sexual health and important derangements of metabolic health including obesity, diabetes, dyslipidemia, poor nutrition, and disorders related to inadequate production of male sex hormone. The goal of this service is to promote the early identification and ultimately prevention and treatment of these disease processes and to foster better coordination of care as well as follow-up of these issues in a multidisciplinary fashion.
