Does testosterone-propionate impair the response of the cardiac capillary bed to exercise?
Testosterone-propionate profoundly inhibits the exercise-induced augmented capillarization, whereas (under training conditions) it leads to a mild myocyte hypertrophy. The microvascular impairment could trigger an imbalance between the myocardial oxygen supply and demand, especially during physical exercise.
The risk of an adverse neonatal outcome is higher in patients with diminished amniotic fluid volume if labor is prolonged. Consequently, determination of the iAFI could be a useful admission test.
