Testosterone Deficiency and Endothelial Dysfunction in Spinal Cord Injury related Cardiovascular Disease Mechanistic Insights and Therapeutic Prospects

June 17, 2026

We are investigating how testosterone levels affect blood vessel function in men with spinal cord injuries.

About the Program

For men with spinal cord injuries, changes in testosterone levels might contribute to this increased risk.

Help us understand and potentially reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes in the spinal cord injury community.

  • Session 1: Comprehensive cardiovascular evaluation including physical exam, blood tests, and ECG.
  • Session 2: Advanced vascular function testing.

Compensation will be provided.
