[Acquired androgenic deficit and coronary heart disease].
This review is dedicated to the role of age-related acquired androgenic deficit in coronary heart disease (CHD) pathogenesis. The analysis of literature show that decrease of testosterone production in males leads to development of dyslipidemia, coronary atherosclerosis, obesity and to increase of blood trombus potential. Thus, androgen deficit potentiates early CHD development in males.
