    Testosterone linked to elevated risk of heart attack

    CBS just reported on new research linking testosterone and elevated risk of heart attacks. A UCLA study of 55,000 men finds the risk of heart attack among men over 65 more than doubled within 90 days of treatment. For men under 65 with a history of heart disease the risk almost triples. Increased clotting of arteries around heart is suspected.

    Report notes that 43% of men being treated with testosterone do not actually suffer from low T. CBS has not posted a link yet, but here's one from an NBC affiliate.
