The Role of Androgens in Cardiac Remodeling
38:19 - 47:10 (08:51)
Androgens such as DHEA, testosterone, and DHT can bind to the androgen receptor in both men and women, leading to cardiac remodeling. However, drugs like finasteride or dutasteride can inhibit this activity, improving heart health.

Summary
Testosterone and DHT hormones can affect cardiac remodeling and heart health, with high levels causing hypertrophy and enlargement of the heart muscle tissue. Drugs such as finasteride and dutasteride, which inhibit the conversion of testosterone to DHT, can improve heart health by reducing activity at the androgen receptor gene.
