This is a spectacular 2019 article that shows the safety and, in fact, the cardiovascular health improvement that can be seen with Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT). These authors studied 1,470 men with a history pre-existing high cardiac risk, know history of prior heart attack and known low testosterone levels. They then studied recurrent heart disease…
Normalization of Testosterone levels after Testosterone Therapy is associated with a significant decrease in the incidence of Atrial Fibrillation. READ FULL ARTICLE
Men with Testosterone deficiency tend to have a portfolio of cardiac risk factors that include Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome. Testosterone deficiency increases the risk of Cardiovascular disease and the risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Many of the key symptoms of low Testosterone are sexual in nature, including erectile dysfunction,…
There is evidence to suggest that low concentrations of Testosterone are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in men. When serum Free Testosterone levels are low the risk of carotid artery sclerosis (hardening of the artery) the risk is high. READ FULL ARTICLE
Previously identified risk factor for coronary artery and heart disease were age, low high-density lipoprotein (good cholesterol), and free testosterone. However, free testosterone may be the strongest predictor of coronary artery disease than other factors such as blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes, smoking and body mass index (obesity). An overwhelming volume of data shows that higher…
Estrogen supplementation in healthy men aged more the 65 years reduces the levels of homocysteine, fibrinogen, and plasminogen activator inhibitor and has a favorable effect on cholesterol, VLDL- C, LDL-C and HDL-C. READ FULL ARTICLE
A previous major summary study evaluating the effect of Testosterone Therapy on Cardiovascular Events, showed Testosterone Therapy safety, because it was not associated with an increased risk of Cardiovascular Disease. Similar results were also reported in another review that analyzed 51 placebo-controlled studies with follow-up ranging from 3 months up to 3 years. While higher…
In this study, Estradiol was shown to: 1. Decrease (bad cholesterol markers) Total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and apolipoprotein B levels and increase (good cholesterol markers) HDL2 cholesterol. Estradiol improves lipid profile, Cardiovascular Disease and mortality rates. READ FULL ARTICLE
A higher serum Estrogen level was associated with a lower risk of Cardiovascular events in normal men. The findings in this study suggest that higher levels of Estrogen in men are vasculo-protective. READ FULL ARTICLE
