Called as the “largest trial of testosterone replacement therapy in men with hypogonadism”, the study showed that the therapy did not result in a higher incidence of major adverse cardiac events in middle-aged and older men with hypogonadism.

Urging caution, the researchers said the trial “should not be used to imply that large doses misused by athletes and bodybuilders are safe.”
Men with low testosterone should not attempt to treat it without the help of a medical professional.

However, it still remains unclear whether the vaccine is the cause of the heart problem called myocarditis, reports NBC News, quoting health experts.
The report said it identified at least 55 suspected cases in the US.
"In recent weeks, there have been rare reports of myocarditis and pericarditis occurring after Covid-19 vaccination in the United States and Europe," the CDC had said in a statement. "Reported cases appear to be mild and often go away without requiring treatment."
Myocarditis and pericarditis are conditions that involve inflammation in and around the heart.
