[QUOTE="Nelson Vergel, post: 22337, member: 3"] Don The three studies did not measure T levels after starting men on TRT (Yes, I know...crazy!). In fact, many men may have been underdosing which can make them hypogonadal. Hypogonadism has been proven to be tight to heart disease. In my opinion, these flawed chart reviews failed not only to monitor men for T levels but also for hematocrit and estradiol. Even the FDA admitted these studies were flawed.[B][URL="https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?3180-The-FDA-Determined-Studies-Linking-Testosterone-to-Heart-Attacks-Were-Flawed"]The FDA Determined Studies Linking Testosterone to Heart Attacks Were Flawed.[/URL][/B] I think the most important factors that can increase heart disease on TRT are: 1- Low T levels due to underdosing. 2- High hematocrit that is not managed via phlebotomies 3- Low HDL caused by higher T doses I do not even think high estradiol is a factor if T blood levels are also high enough to compensate for higher E2. Anastrozole, by the way, can lower HDL in men. [/QUOTE]
