Preface
Erectile dysfunction is a complex syndrome associated with and determined by several separate, vascular and nonvascular factors. In recent years the evolution of noninvasive vascular technology for investigating the macro- and microcirculation in vascular disorders has produced a large amount of information and has increased our knowledge of vascular pathophysiology. In the specific field of vasculogenic erectile dysfunction two major problems have been defined using ultrasound based methods (duplex and color duplex scanning): the first is theoretically caused by decreased arterial inflow and the second by increased venous outflow. Erection is the result of the fine balance and timing between blood inflow and outflow, and these problems often overlap, as both vascular alterations are present in patients with vasculogenic erectile dysfunction. Recently the role of the microcirculation has been studied using laser Doppler flowmetry and other met
