Abstract in brief

  • The study examined whether testosterone therapy is linked to higher risks of death, heart attacks, or strokes in men with low testosterone levels who had undergone coronary angiography, and found no significant difference in these cardiovascular outcomes between men who received therapy and those who did not.
  • Men on testosterone therapy showed a slightly higher estimated percentage of cardiovascular events (like death, MI, or stroke) over three years, but the difference was not statistically significant after correction.
  • The findings suggest that, in this group of male veterans with low testosterone and existing heart disease, testosterone therapy was not clearly associated with increased risk of mortality, heart attack, or stroke within the observed period.
