So, it appears that testosterone, even HRT doses, not-to-mention full blown gear, can have deleterious affects on a man’s heart disease risk factors. Now, please re- read above; this means that each man can manifest clinical risks in terms of “risk factor profile” changes and with this and over time, he may develop coronary plaque and therefore coronary heart disease.
