VELA NAVARRETE, R. et al. Testosterone, endothelial function, cardiovascular health and androgen deficiency in the old man. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2009, vol.62, n.3, pp.173-178. ISSN 0004-0614.

We specifically review the relationship between cardiovascular health, erectile dysfunction, and androgen deficiency, processes easily recognizable, prevented and treated. Current information gives such a prominence to testosterone as a health reference that its determination seems to be inexcusable in the ageing male consult.
