Computer analyses of CMR images calculated blood supply to the two membranes around the heart muscle, the myocardium. Both of these "myocardial perfusion reserve indices" showed significant improvement on testosterone treatment. "In men with CAD and low plasma testosterone, chronic oral testosterone treatment improves myocardial perfusion reserve," the authors reported. Researchers said their findings support the potential clinical use of the male hormone to treat men with CAD.
