Low Testosterone leads to increase risk of Cardiovascular Disease
Evidence of an association between low testosterone in men and death from cardiovascular disease continue to mount. This week, a study was published in the European Journal of Heart Failure further strengthening this link. A group of researchers at the Medical University in Graz Austria examined the serum total and free testosterone levels of more than 2,000 men that were referred for cardiovascular angioplasty between 1997 and 2000. The men were then followed for an average of 7.7 years to determine if there was a death due to various cardiovascular events. After controlling for other factors, an independent association was found between low free testosterone and death from congestive heart failure. With the growing body of evidence concerning the negative health effects of low testosterone, the mainstream medical community continues to shift towards embracing hormone replacement therapy in men.
