Is TRT actually safe for your heart or does it increase heart attack risk?
I'm considering starting TRT for my low energy, but I've heard conflicting things about it being bad for your heart. My dad had a heart attack in his 50s, so I'm extra cautious about any risks.
Current clinical research, including the landmark TRAVERSE study, suggests that TRT does not increase the risk of major adverse cardiac events when prescribed to men with medically diagnosed hypogonadism. In fact, maintaining healthy testosterone levels can improve metabolic markers like insulin sensitivity and body composition, which are vital for long-term heart health. At HeydayMD, we prioritize safety by conducting comprehensive blood panels and cardiovascular screenings before and during treatment to ensure your protocol is optimized for your specific health profile. Our clinical team monitors your hematocrit and lipid levels closely to mitigate any potential risks while maximizing the benefits of therapy.
