Testosterone Replacement Therapy Does Not Raise CV Risks - Renal and Urology News


@Michael Scally MD
I believe you posted a study recently that corroborates this? Can't seem to find it though. I seem to recall undiagnosed low T before treatment not being accounted for in most studies. Can you confirm?

Interesting how the new data seems to suggest that testosterone is actually good for the heart.
Even my workplace doc who wasn't that happy with me being on trt before, had turned around about it after seeing the new studies.

What's weird for me is how I seem to get more heart palpitations (PVC's and PAC's) when I'm on testosterone. I would be really interested hearing if anyone has knowledge what mechanism could be behind that. Then again maybe I don't actually even have them more, but rather just feel them better.

Hmm... are you on t3 or t4?

No, and my thyroid levels have always been pretty much in the middle of the range.
Last time my labs were
TSH: 2.65 (0.40 - 4)
T4: 15.80 (10 - 21)

I've had my heart tested by a cardiologist. Ultrasound and multiple ECG's. It was found healthy, with no structural abnormalities. Still no dr was able to tell me what could be the link which makes trt increase my palpitations.

One of your previous posts suggested you had sleep apnea. How compliant are you with treatment?
