Testosterone deficiency and cardiovascular mortality
New concerns have been raised regarding cardiovascular (CV) risks with testosterone (T) therapy (TTh). These concerns are based primarily on two widely reported retrospective studies. However, methodological flaws and data errors invalidate both studies as credible evidence of risk. One showed reduced adverse events by half in T-treated men but reversed this result using an unproven statistical...
متن کاملThe dark side of testosterone deficiency: III. Cardiovascular disease.
A considerable body of evidence exists suggesting that androgen deficiency contributes to the onset, progression, or both of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The aim of this review is to evaluate the relationships between testosterone (T) deficiency and risk factors of CVD and to discuss the implications of androgen deficiency in men with cardiovascular risk factors. The relationship between andro...

Testosterone deficiency (TD) afflicts approximately 30% of men aged 40-79 years, with an increase in prevalence strongly associated with aging and common medical conditions including obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. A strong relationship is noted between TD and metabolic syndrome, although the relationship is not certain to be causal. Repletion of testosterone (T) in T-deficient men with th...
متن کاملTestosterone and cardiovascular disease.
Low levels of endogenous circulating testosterone in men in community-based epidemiological studies are associated with an increased risk of mortality from all causes, with some studies identifying a link with cardiovascular (CV) disease. Testosterone deficiency is associated with several CV risk factors including central obesity, dyslipidemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance. Testosterone...
متن کاملTestosterone and Cardiovascular Disease.
Testosterone (T) is the principal male sex hormone. As men age, T levels typically fall. Symptoms of low T include decreased libido, vasomotor instability, and decreased bone mineral density. Other symptoms may include depression, fatigue, erectile dysfunction, and reduced muscle strength/mass. Epidemiology studies show that low levels of T are associated with more atherosclerosis, coronary art...
