Abstract:  Between warnings from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and many articles being published with the consensus that testosterone-replacement therapy had an increased cardiovascular risks in men, thereby questioning the relative safety of the therapy, the needs of hypogonadal (low testosterone) men, who also present with symptoms related to this condition, are much less likely to receive a treatment that can significantly improve their quality of life. This article discusses a major research project that determined that testosterone replacement therapy was no worse than a placebo in men with cardiovascular disease or at high risk for cardiovascular disease.
