When to Call the "Plumber"—a Cardiologist
Whether the erectile problems are seen with or precede heart trouble seems to come down to a matter of plumbing.
Think about it, if you turn on your kitchen faucet and you don't get any flow, either the faucet is broken or the pipes are clogged. This idea would then make one think that erectile dysfunction is either caused by a problem directly related to the penis—the "faucet"—or to the blood vessels—the "pipes"—leading to the penis. Makes sense.
"Pipe clogging" seems to explain why heart problems and erectile dysfunction are so often seen together. When a person has high levels of cholesterol or arterial damage that cause arteries to clog, then it is likely there will not be enough blood to flow to the penis during sex, which can cause impotence.

If it's not "clogged pipes," then one would need to review what might be wrong with the "faucet". When the reason erectile dysfunction becomes a problem within the penis itself, the cause is probably more subtle than clogged arteries.
