Long-term Testosterone May Decrease Cardiovascular Risk



Long-term testosterone replacement therapy is associated with a decreased — not increased — risk for cardiovascular disease in men, according to a large population-based cohort study.
This finding “answers the controversy” fueled by recent warnings from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) suggesting that the opposite is true, said senior investigator Robert Nam, MD, from the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre in Toronto.
The study was published online May 7 in Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology to coincide with its presentation here at the American Urological Association 2016 Annual Meeting.
On the basis of this study, “we can conclude that long-term testosterone is safe,” Dr Nam told Medscape Medical News.
