Testosterone Therapy Deemed Safe for Men with Heart Disease

A large clinical trial has found that testosterone therapy does not increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and cardiac deaths in men with hypogonadism, a medical condition where the body does not produce enough testosterone. However, the study does not apply to men who take testosterone without a medical diagnosis, and long-term safety data is still lacking. The trial was funded by pharmaceutical companies that make testosterone, at the behest of the Food and Drug Administration.
