However, findings from genetic association and pharmacotherapeutic studies have been inconsistent.</p><p><strong>Objectives: </strong>To provide a quality overview of neurobiological targets that are potentially associated with LPE by investigating genetic association and pharmacotherapeutic studies.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This scoping review was conducted per the PRISMA-ScR tool (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews).

Following screening and full-text review with citation tracking, 52 studies were included: 18 genetic and 34 pharmacotherapy studies. Serotonergic targets, such as the serotonin transporter and pre- and postsynaptic serotonergic receptors, were most often associated with LPE in genetic and pharmacotherapeutic studies. Mixed results were found among polymorphisms within genetic studies. This mechanism is in accordance with pharmacotherapeutic studies, as the highest efficacy was found for potent serotonergic antidepressants.

We found that serotonergic targets are most often associated with LPE, suggesting that the serotonergic pathway is a predisposing factor in LPE.

Second, sexual activity is generally safe for men with ED, although stress testing should still be considered for men with reduced exercise tolerance or ischemia. Third, the safety of PDE5 inhibitor use with concomitant medications was reviewed in depth, particularly concomitant use with nitrates or alpha-blockers. With rare exceptions, PDE5 inhibitors can be safely used in men being treated for hypertension, lower urinary tract symptoms and other common male disorders. Fourth, for men unresponsive to oral therapy or with absolute contraindications for PDE5 inhibitor administration, multiple treatment options can be selected. These were reviewed in depth with clinical recommendations. Fifth, evidence from retrospective studies points strongly toward cardioprotective effects of chronic PDE5-inhibitor use in men. Decreased rates of adverse cardiac outcomes in men taking PDE-5 inhibitors has been consistently reported from multiple studies.
