Testosterone and the heart
نویسنده
چکیده
Testosterone has generated a lot of interest and controversies lately. There are epidemiological studies showing the correlation of low testosterone level with poor health in men. Low testosterone predicts an increase in all-cause mortality. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) has been shown to improve mortality in men with testosterone deficiency. Normalization of testosterone levels has been shown to be beneficial to the heart. Besides the direct effect on the heart, TRT has also been shown to have a positive effect on the metabolic parameters (metabolic syndrome) that indirectly affect the heart.
