title: Effect of testosterone therapy on QT dispersion in men with heart failure.
abstract: The effects of testosterone on cardiac electrophysiology are poorly described. In this study we report the effect of physiologic testosterone therapy in 2 cohorts of men, the first with stable coronary disease and the second with congestive heart failure. Testosterone reduced QT dispersion in the heart failure cohort; no other effects were observed.
