Genotropin Therapy Boosts LVEF in GH-Deficient Men with Stable CAD: 3-Year RCT
Reading Time: 2 minutes Introduction Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of mortality among American males, accounting for approximately 1 in 4 deaths annually according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). With an estimated 18.2 million U.S. adults affected, particularly men over 45 years of age, innovative therapeutic strategies are imperative. Growth hormone (GH) deficiency, often comorbid with CAD due to aging and metabolic syndrome, impairs cardiac remodeling and endothelial function. Genotropin®, a recombinant human GH (somatropin), has shown promise in restoring anabolic processes, improving left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, and mitigating atherosclerosis progression. This article synthesizes findings from...
