Recently, studies have shown that many men may face a increased risk of heart attack, stroke or wrongful death from testosterone treatments.

In November 2013, a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) suggested that men with certain heart problems may be 29% more likely to die, suffer a heart attack or stroke on testosterone therapy.

These findings come after long concerns about the heart risks of testosterone replacement therapy. In 2009, researchers halted a study that was funded by the National Institutes of Health due to the testosterone treatment heart attack risk.
