According to this recently released article, the answer is a resounding yes.
“A new multi-year study from the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Salt Lake City shows that testosterone therapy helped elderly men with low testosterone levels and pre-existing coronary artery disease reduce their risks of major adverse cardiovascular events โ including strokes, heart attacks, and death.
The study showed that patients who received testosterone as part of their follow-up treatment fared much better than patients who didnโt. Non-testosterone-therapy patients were 80 percent more likely to suffer an adverse event.”
โThe study shows that using testosterone replacement therapy to increase testosterone to normal levels in androgen-deficient men doesnโt increase their risk of a serious heart attack or stroke,โ said cardiologist Brent Muhlestein, MD, co-director of cardiovascular research at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute. โThat was the case even in the highest-risk men โ those with known pre-existing heart disease.
Once again, this dataย backs up the ample research found in my Amazon best seller The Definitive TRT MANual.
Therapeutic testosterone is actually cardio protective.
โThe FDAโs warning was based on the best clinical information available at the time,โ Dr. Muhlestein said. โAs further information, like our research, becomes available โ and especially after a large randomized clinical outcomes trial can be accomplished โ hopefully the FDA will be able to change its warning.โ
Why we wait for studies to catch up to every day practice, pro-active men reading this site can take matters into their own hands by consulting with a progressive physician to find out whether then possess a clinical need for therapeutic testosterone. If you are a man with a pre-existing history of vascular disease or someone who has suffered from a previous heart attack, feel confident knowing you have options to optimize your hormones. It is TRTRevolution’s opinion the past delusion about the risks of therapeutic T are over. A revolution in personalized health care and optimized living is well under way.
