Study Assesses Risk of Heart Issues in Older Men Receiving Testosterone Therapy
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”.
