New Study Finds No Link Between Testosterone Replacement Therapy and Heart Attack Risk

New Study Finds No Link Between Testosterone Replacement Therapy and Heart Attack Risk

Testosterone Replacement Therapy Has Many Benefits, But Is It Good for the HeartAs seen on http://bioidenticalhormoneexperts.com

The results of a Kaiser Permanente study recently published in JAMA Internal Medicine may finally put some of the controversy to rest. The study not only found no connection between increased cardiovascular risk and testosterone replacement therapy, it also showed that the men who used testosterone replacement therapy had a 33 percent lower risk of cardiovascular events compared to those who didn’t receive the therapy. Based on these findings, this therapy may actually promote heart health in men.

The study evaluated the medical records of 44,335 male patients with low testosterone between the years of 1999 and 2010. Among these patients, 8,808 men were given testosterone replacement therapy, while the rest were not. The researchers discovered that, during the course of about three and a half years, 10.2 percent of the men who never received testosterone had a heart attack or stroke. In contrast, only 8.2 percent of the men who were receiving testosterone replacement therapy had a heart attack or stroke. Read more.
