The Relationship Between Serum Testosterone Level as an Independent Variable in Men with the Risk Factors for Coronary Artery Disease & Rehospitalization for Acute Coronary Syndrome

Background: Despite the numerous studies and medical research that have addressed the relationship between testosterone deficiency & coronary artery disease, most of these studies have overlooked the relationship between testosterone deficiency and the risk factors that contribute to the development of coronary atherosclerosis such as diabetes, hypertension & hyperlipidemia as well as the risk for recurrent hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome. Aim of the study: The study's objective is to clarify the relationship between coronary artery disease, rehospitalisation for acute coronary syndrome, concomitant diseases like hyperlipidemia, hypertension & diabetes mellitus in correlation with testosterone deficiency as an independent variable. Method: The study was conducted on 167 people over the age of 50 years who presented to the emergency room with acute coronary syndrome weather the first time or recurrent acute coronary syndrome. We looked in those patients at the presence of other diseases that are a risk factors for ischemic heart disease. We measured serum testosterone level upon admission.
