World Health and the American Academy of Anti-Aging medicine have stated that after examining the research completed by the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston examining Medicare claims of 25,420 beneficiaries treated with testosterone therapy for up to eight years that, “testosterone therapy did not associate with an increased risk of heart attack”. The group also states that the study further showed that testosterone users with a higher probability of cardiovascular problems had a lower rate of heart attacks in comparison to equivalent patients who did not receive testosterone therapy.
This is very exciting news to see an additional study show that testosterone therapy, under the proper guidance of a physician, lessens ones risk for heart attack according to this study. Go through our other blogs to find further analysis and studies and read for yourself on how testosterone therapy decreases the risk for heart attacks, strokes, prostate cancer and death.

A new study states that there is no compelling evidence justifying using drug therapy to suppress their testosterone production for men with early-stage prostate cancer which have been used for decades while introducing many unpleasant side effects. The analysis states that there is no evidence that androgen deprivation therapy extends the life of these patients. The attached editorial, written by physicians at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, summarizes the analysis regarding the new philosophy on using drugs to diminish testosterone production for early-stage prostate cancer patients which it recommends for inclusion in the “Choosing Wisely” campaign by the American Board of Internal Medicine Foundation to warn doctors and patients about unnecessary medical tests and procedures.

The University of Texas Medical Branch has completed a research study in 2014 to examine the links between testosterone use and risks of Cardiovascular events or Myocardial Infarction. The study aimed to look more closely at these issues following a January, 2014 study we previously posted that came to different conclusions. This more recent study concludes stated that: “Older men who were treated with intramuscular testosterone did not appear to have an increased risk of MI. For men with high MI risk, testosterone use was modestly protective against MI”.
