physiologic replacement of testosterone shown to increase NO synthesis, increased vasorelaxation, and reduced CVD symptoms, like hypertension.

This study found that the elimination of hight dose vitamin C in EDTA chelation removed the pro oxidant effect. This provided an antioxidant effect only from EDTA chelation, which is beneficial in the oxidative damage diseases like CVD and Diabetes

High aromatase activity in men, as a result of abdominal fat associated with increased estrogen production and lowered Testosterone.  The result is increased CVD.  It's a man boob nation.

preeclampsia should be a history marker that reveals increased cardiovascular disease (CVD).  

Awesome review on the current understanding of Testosterone and Diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and CVD.  This article even goes into the literature on androgen receptors.

As ED is a cardiovascular problem, it is no surprise that those with ED have an increase in CVD.

This study proves the problems rampant in science today.  This study looked at older men with mobility limitations: safe to say, not optimal health.  They give 10 grams of testosterone daily to these men.  Physiologic doses are 5-10 mg.  And they are surprise that there is an increase in side effects, here in this study CVD.  They did look at cytokines, I'll give them that; but they did not look at aromatase activity and E2, E1 levels which have been shown to be the driving forces behind these inflammatory cytokines in men.  Testosterone has in fact been shown to downregulate these inflammatory cytokines.  Poor study.  No conclusion can be taken from this study.

decreased heart rate variability associated with increased CVD and mortality

cool read:  the future of CVD treatment.  The link between neuroimmunology and cardiovascular disease.

antidepressants shown to reduce heart rate variability (HRV) and an increased heart rate (HR), both of which increase cardiovascular disease (CVD).

This is the unified paper theory of CVD and vitamin C as published by Pauling and Rath.  Vitamin C deficiency results in a decrease in the integrity and stability of the vascular wall.  Chronic deficiency results in in an increase in and accumulation of Lp(a) which leads to atherosclerotic plaques.

study of middle aged men (mean age--50) finds no correlation between Testosterone, DHT, and higher Estradiol levels in CVD outcomes, including mortality.  Men who died during the study had lower total Testosterone, free Testosterone, and DHT levels than those that survived during the study.

multivitamins associated with a decreased risk of major CVD events in 20 prospective study.  This is likely a component of a healthy lifestyle, but still shows that MVA use does have positive effects over all long duration.

proinsulin is a good biomarker to assess insulin resistance in people with diabetes.  Proinsulin levels are associated with atherosclerosis and CVD.

low muscle strength associated with increased risk of early mortality and CVD in men.

low testosterone increases CVD and all-cause mortality in me.

low testosterone is risk factor for CVD in men.  Of course, normalization of testosterone should be employed and followed in those men that have low T.

low Testosterone associated with increased CVD and death.

low Testosterone found to be inversely correlated to an increase in CVD and mortality.

low Testosterone associated with increased CVD in male hemodialysis patients
