A large U.S. multicenter study shows that older men with higher testosterone levels are more likely to have a heart attack or other cardiovascular disease in the future.This finding contradicts smaller studies that have shown that testosterone levels are not associated with higher rates of cardiovascular disease.
Study results were presented at The Endocrine Society’s 92nd Annual […]

According to new data presented today at the World Congress of Cardiology (WCC) Scientific Sessions in Beijing, China, seven out of 10 men admitted to hospital for a heart attack (acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI)) had erectile dysfunction (ED) in the six months prior to their admission.
The study developed by a team at […]

Research at University of Florence, Italy, shows for the first time that men with erectile dysfunction and low testosterone have a higher than normal risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. In a previous work, the same research group shows that obesity is also associated with an impairment of blood flow to the penis, which in turn is also associated […]
