Cardiac and CAD question

[bigtwin (imported)]

Anyone out there ever find some realistic information on the risks for heart disease and CAD with hypogonadism? I have beed a eunuch for about two years and have gained 20lbs and my cholesterol has risin.ldl mostly.

I have searched the net and can find no studies to support either.(twin)

I have seen no studies specifically on androgen involvement in cardiac cases, or its involvement in any cardia disease function. Nor has roomie, who is a cardiac nurse.

OTOH, after my recent trip to ER and cardiac, they were extremely interested in diabetes. I'm sure you know that there can be a lot of concern there....

There have been a few studies relative to Type II diabetes and androgen deficiency. They are more ancillary correlative studies spun out of other research, and have not been replicated, as far as I can find. Essentially, whether diabetes is causative of androgen depletion, or vice versa has not even been touched - at least as far as I have found so far.

thanx for the reply, I agree with the implications diabetes has on the body with the micro amd macro vascular narrowing.Bad news if your a diabetic.

Bottom line kristoff is I would like to remain off the andro-derm for good but am concerned with the long term affects on my cardovascular system.thanx for the reply,(twin)

if you run out of things to read and you are not done worrying yet I suggest selections from the following list, many of these selections are abstracts and conclusions only...the complete studies are probably not worth the purchase for your purposes...

Now, please tell me if you think that your lab test results was something that may not have happened with increasing age, regardless...
