Abstract:
Current evidence suggests that testosterone therapy has numerous benefits and risks on cardiovascular health. Examples of this include published data that support improvements in insulin sensitivity and body composition which may reduce the risk of diabetes. On the other hand, testosterone therapy may offset such benefits by mild impairments in lipid parameters. Consequently, controversy on the effects of testosterone therapy on cardiovascular health remains. Studies are underway to clarify this important question for the benefit of men with hypogonadism.

Exercise and Cardiovascular Response
Light to moderate physical activity initiates a series of interconnected responses in the body. The heart rate modestly increases in anticipation of the workout, followed by widespread vasodilation as oxygen consumption by skeletal muscles increases. This results in decreased peripheral resistance, increased capillary blood flow, and accelerated...
