New York Times Issues Report on Testosterone Related Injuries
The New York Times published a story on January 29, 2014 on New Concerns About Testisterone and Heart Risks (by Anahad O’Connor). As a team of attorneys that are investigating the injuries that we believe Testosterone therapy creates in men, we believe the article is a well written informational source on the troubles behind testosterone.
O’Connor’s article discusses two studies in particular that discuss Low T injuries, including one study in the journal PLoS ONE (funded by the National Institute of Health) and a second article published in November 2013 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. I previously blogged about the JAMA article on the MidSouthTrialLawyer blog, which you can read by clicking HERE. The same post includes a video by Dr. Michael Ho explaining the testosterone may cause a 29% increased risk in cardiovascular injuries.
The New York Times quotes Dr. Michael Lauer, who is the Director of Cardiovascular Sciences at the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Lauer tellingly foreshadows that “When you put this [recent study] together with the rest of the medical literature, this tells us that we potentially have a problem.”
The NY Times continued but explaining that the two studies reelect men 65 and older may have up to double the rate of heart attacks in the months after starting testosterone therapy (also known as Low T therapy). Much of this increased risk comes from the increased production of red blood cells caused by testosterone replacement therapy (or TRT). One’s increased red blood cell can easily be linked to coagulation of the blood, essentially making one’s blood thicker, an especially hazardous condition for aging men with already thinker blood vessels. As one professor of public health noted at Hunter College, “There is a potential for harm, and people should know about this.”
We agree that people should know and are therefore providing a free case evaluation to anyone injured by testosterone replacement therapy.
