Table 2 Correlation coefficients between peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), and shear wave elastography (SWE) in erectile dysfunction (ED) patients and healthy controls.
| ED patients (n=78) | Healthy controls (n=32) | |
|---|---|---|
| PSV max-SWE min | ||
| EDV-SWE min | r=0.012, P=0.917 | r=0.319, P=0.08 |
| ED – erectile dysfunction; PSV max – maximum peak systolic velocity; EDV – end-diastolic velocity; SWE min – minimum shear wave elastography. | ||
