Objective: To understand the current situation and trend on the relations between erectile dysfunction (ED) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) through analyzing the epidemiologic research data. Methods: We conducted a literature search on the Scopus for potentially relevant epidemiologic studies on ED and CVD published from 1957 to October, 28, 2016. Age of the article, types, regions, citation, and co-authorship of the documents were recorded. Results: A total number of 412 pieces of literature were published in the past six decades, with original articles the most common types of ED and CVD. ED and CVD associated epidemiologic topics had an annual increase in number, and remained stable in the past decade, with occident countries as the United States and Italy taking the lead in this area. Clinical and epidemiological studies were the hottest areas, with most authors sharing a co-authorship. Conclusion: Our results suggested that inter-disciplinary cooperation with emphasize on clinical application were the effective starting points for ED and CVD associated epidemiologic studies.
目的： 分析勃起功能障碍（ED）和心血管疾病（CVD）研究领域的研究现状和发展趋势。 方法： 通过检索Scopus数据库ED与CVD研究领域中发表的相关性流行病学原始研究，检索时间段为1957年至2016年10月28日，采用文献计量学分析的方法，分析其发表年份、国家/地区分布、研究机构分布、被引情况、研究者合著关系。 结果： 近60年共计发表412篇ED与CVD相关性的流行病学原始研究，其发文量呈逐年上升趋势，并在过去10年内达到稳定。欧美国家（尤其是美国和意大利）在该研究领域处于领先地位，基于ED与CVD的临床研究和流行病学研究是该领域的研究热点，同时该研究领域内的学者多存在较密切的合作关系。 结论： 分析提示，加强学科交叉合作，以临床应用为出发点，是ED与CVD相关领域的研究趋势。.
