Heart Disease: What Every Man Should Know

Posted: June 11, 2025

During Men’s Health Month, let’s talk about the leading cause of death in men—before it becomes a crisis. According to the CDC, heart disease is responsible for one in four male deaths in the U.S., and often, it doesn’t begin with chest pain or heart attacks. In fact, many men don’t realize their cardiovascular system is under strain until symptoms become harder to ignore.

At Low T Center, we believe in catching health risks early. That’s why we screen for more than just testosterone levels—we look at the full picture of your metabolic and cardiovascular health. Because when it comes to your heart, prevention is powerful.

Why Heart Disease Often Goes Undetected in Men

For many men, cardiovascular issues begin quietly. You may notice:

• A dip in stamina

• Difficulty recovering from workouts

• Erectile dysfunction

• Brain fog or low motivation

• Weight gain, especially around the midsection

• Shortness of breath or lightheadedness

While these symptoms may not seem urgent, they’re often signs of underlying issues like high cholesterol, elevated blood pressure, diabetes, or hormonal imbalance. If left untreated, these can significantly increase the risk of heart attack or stroke.

The Role of Testosterone and Hormones in Heart Health

Testosterone does more than support muscle and libido, it also affects how your body metabolizes fat, regulates blood sugar, and produces red blood cells. Low testosterone can contribute to weight gain, insulin resistance, and poor cardiovascular performance, all of which put extra strain on the heart.

At Low T Center, we offer comprehensive evaluations that include:

• Blood pressure screening

• Cholesterol and glucose testing

• Testosterone and other hormone panels

• Weight and BMI assessments

• Electrocardiogram (ECG) when indicated

Because heart health doesn’t come from treating symptoms in isolation—it comes from understanding how your systems work together.

Our care goes beyond hormone therapy. We provide preventive screenings and personalized treatment plans that address your full health profile, helping you take action before bigger issues develop. For men with cardiovascular risk factors, we may recommend:
