Key result
Serum testosterone levels in young hypertensive patients showed a significant positive correlation with 24-hour systolic blood pressure (R=0.22) and left ventricular mass index (R=0.26).
Why the study?
Is endogenous testosterone associated with blood pressure profile and left ventricular mass in young hypertensive patients?
Population
80 consecutive young hypertensive patients, mean age 29.9 ± 16.3 years. Excluded: patients treated with…

Endogenous testosterone may mark higher-risk young hypertensives; hypothesis-generating, needs prospective studies before any clinical inference.

Effect estimate: R=0.22
p-value: p=<0.05
In young hypertensive patients, endogenous testosterone levels are positively correlated with 24-hour systolic blood pressure and left ventricular mass index.
Sołtysiak et al. (2016) conducted a cross-sectional in Essential hypertension (n=80). Serum testosterone levels was evaluated on Correlation between testosterone and 24-hour systolic blood pressure (R=0.22, p=<0.05). Serum testosterone levels in young hypertensive patients showed a significant positive correlation with 24-hour systolic blood pressure (R=0.22) and left ventricular mass index (R=0.26).
