[USER=17646]tank77[/USER], Dr. Thomas O'Connor has some good videos on YouTube about heart health on TRT.


I'm also very much into cardiovascular health (and now on TRT).  The HRT / estrogen studies in women (HERS, WHI) didn't show a cardiovascular benefit, but I believe there may have been flaws with studies (synthetic estrogens and too late of an intervention for the women).  But it's not a sure thing that more estrogen means more cardioprotection.


I would agree with Nelson that you should monitor your lipids and see what gives you an improvement.  You will probably want to get an ApoB & Apo A1 panel or an NMR lipid panel rather than a traditional lipid panel.


It seems there's no great drugs for raising the function of HDL right now, but given the amount of research and understanding / rate of progress, it's bound to happen soon (I hope!)
