Accordingly, vascular ED and CAD share similar risk factors.\n                    <jats:bold>Case Summary:<\/jats:bold>\n                    A 52-year-old male reported erectile dysfunction in 2019. In 2021, after coronary stent placement for stable CAD, he adopted a whole-food plant-based diet (WFPB) diet to improve his CAD risk. Within months, his erectile function began improving, and he experienced further improvement with increasing vegetable intake. By February 2024, he reported normal erectile function.\n                    <jats:bold>Discussion:<\/jats:bold>\n                    While prior literature describes modest improvement in erectile dysfunction with a Mediterranean diet, this case describes complete reversal of ED with a WFPB diet. By improving cardiovascular risk factors, a WFPB may ameliorate vascular function and vascular ED.\n                    <jats:bold>Take Home Message:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Erectile dysfunction secondary to atherosclerosis may be reversed with a whole food plant-based diet.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/15598276251367671","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,8]],"date-time":"2025-09-08T12:04:22Z","timestamp":1757333062000},"page":"1139-1143","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Erectile Dysfunction Reversed After Adoption of a Whole Food Plant-Based Diet: A Case Report"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9518-4487","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kathleen","family":"Allen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Massachusetts General Hospital"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoav","family":"Jacob","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical School, Albert Einstein College of Medicine"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wai","family":"Thein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Montefiore Health System"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caldwell","family":"Esselstyn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cleveland Clinic"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-4300-1596","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Robert J.","family":"Ostfeld","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Montefiore Health System"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjmed.2020.09.033"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0022-5347(17)34871-1"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.amjmed.2006.06.010"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1161\/CIR.0000000000001031"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.11909\/j.issn.1671-5411.2017.05.003"},{"issue":"7","key":"e_1_3_3_7_2","first-page":"356","article-title":"A way to reverse CAD?","volume":"63","author":"Esselstyn CB","year":"2014","unstructured":"Esselstyn CB, Gendy G, Doyle J, Golubic M, Roizen MF.
