Re: Does ED run in families?

Dear patient,

Although, ED itself does not run in families, however, Ischaemic heart disease or cardiovascular disease which is one of the major causes of ED can be hereditary. Therefore, if one has family history of ischaemic heart disease and develops ED it is highly recommended to seek medical help at an early stage to rule out any cardiovascular disease.
