Testosterone deficiency independently predicts mortality in women with HFrEF: insights from the T.O.S.CA. registry

TD is associated with a worse clinical profile including exercise capacity, right ventricular-pulmonary arterial coupling, and renal function. These findings lend support to an accurate profiling of women with HF, a problem often overlooked in clinical trials.
