Study summary
The goal of this observational study is to assess changes in patients' erectile function after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using a standard IIEF (International Index of Erectile Function) questionnaire at 1, 3, and 6 months post-PCI. By doing this, we try to compare patients' responses to PCI after having a heart attack and stable angina to see the real effect of myocardial infarction on erectile function status in the long term by comparing it with a very similar group.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Change in erectile function score after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) — Baseline (post-recovery from PCI) to 6 months follow-up] Description:
Erectile function will be assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function-5 (IIEF-5) questionnaire. The primary outcome is the change in mean IIEF-5 score from baseline to 6 months after PCI, comparing patients with myocardial infarction (Group 1) and those with stable angina (Group 2). A decrease in IIEF-5 score indicates worsening erectile function.
