Low testosterone can affect heart health and increase mortality risk
These findings underscore the importance of recognizing and addressing low testosterone levels as a potential risk factor for heart disease. While further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms underlying this association, healthcare professionals are urged to consider testosterone levels as part of cardiovascular risk assessment in patients, particularly those presenting with symptoms or risk factors for heart disease.
This study adds to the growing body of evidence highlighting the multifaceted impact of hormonal imbalances on overall health and underscores the need for comprehensive approaches to cardiovascular care that take into account factors beyond traditional risk factors such as cholesterol and blood pressure. Further research and clinical attention in this area have the potential to inform more targeted interventions and improve outcomes for individuals at risk of heart disease.
