Radio guys have a magic frequency.

A doctor in Vienna has discovered another reason why having an active sex life if good for you.

According to the doctor, the penis is "the antenna of the heart", and impotence can be an important warning sign of potential heart failure in men.

Dr. Stephan Madersbacher, head of urology at the Danube Hospital in Vienna, led the team of top Austrian scientists who conducted the study that led to this discovery.

Dr. Madersbacher found that men experiencing moderate to serious erectile dysfunction (i.e. impotence) had a 65% higher risk of a heart attack within 10 years. The study, which was done in conjunction with the Vienna City Council, also showed the risk of a stroke in impotent men was found to be 43% higher than in men who do not suffer erectile dysfunction.

"When erectile dysfunction is diagnosed by a urology specialist the patient should definitely be given a check up by a specialist in internal medicine," Dr. Madersbacher recommended.

He said the reason for the link is the similarity between the muscle and blood vessel cells of the penis and those in the heart. Damage to one is often an indicator of damage to both.

"If your penis is functioning well in terms of potency it is also a good sign of a healthy heart," added the doctor.

We mention that Dr. Madersbacher's study and findings as a way of reminding you that an active sex life is not only pleasurable, it is also a good indicator of a healthy heart. So keep your antennas up and operating, guys!
