Erections result from relaxation of the arteries that carry blood into the penis. As those arteries relax, they expand, allowing extra blood to flow into the organ, which produces an erection hydraulically. Starting in the 1980s, researchers showed that ED was often a result of cardiovascular disease (CVD), arterial narrowing that reduces blood flow around the body. When CVD limits blood flow through the heart, the result is heart disease, in the brain, stroke, and in the penis, ED.
