Hi WB
I can't see how the plaintiffs would prove in a court that testosterone was directly responsible for a patient's death. I think it would be difficult to prove it was a contributing factor in a heart attack or stroke either.
As Dennis says, therapy might exacerbate already existent issues, like hypertension, for example.
Actually, I would half expect the doctors and lawyers to suggest that TRT might actually have helped prolong the lives and health of some of those affected. In other words, if it wasn't for the testosterone therapy, the patient might have died or had the stroke earlier than they actually did.
Regards,
Craig
