Why Cardiologists Are Seeing Heart Attacks in “Healthy” Men on TRT (Deeper Dive)

Send us Fan Mail

Are heart attacks in “healthy” men on testosterone really being caused by TRT, or are we missing the real culprits? In this episode, Dr. Kumar, a radiation oncologist and men’s health physician, explains why fear around testosterone and heart disease exploded, and what more recent evidence and guidelines actually suggest.​

If you’ve heard my earlier episodes on low testosterone and TRT, think of this as the next step: a deeper dive into the specific question cardiologists keep asking—why some men on TRT still end up with heart attacks, and what to do about it.
​​

You’ll learn a practical checklist to lower cardiovascular risk while on testosterone: key labs to ask for, when to consider coronary calcium scoring or other heart tests, how sleep apnea, metabolic syndrome, and hematocrit fit into the picture, and the red‑flag symptoms you should never ignore.​

This episode is for men on TRT or considering it—and for cardiologists, primary care clinicians, and functional medicine doctors who want a calmer, evidence‑aware way to talk about testosterone and the heart. This is general education only; always discuss your own treatment with your personal physician.​
