Risk of Myocardial Infarction in Older Men Receiving Testosterone Therapy - 0 views

Nathan Goodyear on 22 Jul 14This study appears to fly in the face of the recent studies on the dangers of Testosterone therapy in those with comorbidities. This study was a retrospective cohort. The study found that men in the highest risk for MI, had a reduced MI risk with Testosterone therapy. Men in the lower risk quartiles had no such benefit. Of note, the frequency of injections suggests inadequate dosing i.e. 4.4 in first year and 8.2 in follow up. Most injection regimens will require at least monthly injections, though Testosterone pellets were used. Of special note, no mention of level testing of Testosterone prior to study and/or during study and follow up.
