Central hemodynamics and androgen status in men with coronary heart disease, and androgen deficiency in its correction of prolonged administration of testosterone

Abstract

This work was designed to study the dynamic of the central hemodynamic disorders symptoms at men with coronary heart disease, stable angina, obesity and androgen deficiency under replacement short-term therapy by Testosterone undecanoate (TU). The comparative assessment of central hemodynamic indicators and total and sub-scale AMS score at two groups of men who receiving (the main group) and not receiving (control group) replacement therapy of TU is carried out. Results showed that in the main group, unlike control group the positive tendency in a number of indicators (stroke volume, left ventricular end- diastolic volume, left ventricular end- systolic volume) of the central hemodynamic and indicators of the androgenic status is observed. Positive dynamics of some parameters of the central hemodynamic even at short-term replacement therapy of TU indicates the therapeutic potential of testosterone at cardiovascular pathology which full realization may require longer period of testosterone administration.
