Testosterone disorder's impact on men's heart
A scientific review indicates that abnormal levels of testosterone, whether low or high, increase men's risk of developing atrial fibrillation, a heart rhythm disorder that raises the chances of stroke and often requires lifelong treatment with blood thinners. Researchers found that the risk is lower when testosterone levels are within the optimal range, between 350 and 550 nanograms per deciliter, and recommended using stable formulations along with periodic health monitoring. The findings highlight the importance of addressing risk factors such as obesity and high blood pressure before starting hormone therapy.
