Hypertensive patients are frequently affected by erectile dysfunction (20-25%). This is often a manifestation of atherosclerosis, a systemic disease that itself requires management. Dietary measures and physical activity are beneficial for these patients. Regarding pharmacological options, these include modifying the antihypertensive treatment or using a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PDE5 inhibitor) in males. The preferred antihypertensive treatments are angiotensin 2 receptor antagonists, ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, and if necessary, a vasodilating beta-blocker (nébivolol). Thiazide and thiazide-like diuretics (with the exception of indapamide), traditional beta-blockers, and central antihypertensive agents should be avoided.
