abstract={Historically, High level of serum testosterone was thought to have deleterious effect on cardiovascular system. In the last few years, studies have suggested that low testosterone levels are associated with increase prevalence of risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. This study aimed to determine the relationship between free testosterone level and the angiographic severity of coronary artery disease in young adult male patients. This cross-sectional study was conducted at Department of Laboratory Medicine in collaboration with Department of Cardiology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) and National Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases (NICVD), Dhaka, Bangladesh from March, 2020 to February, 2021. Total 110 subjects from inpatient Department of Cardiology were enrolled, 60 were CAD patients and 50 were Normal Coronaries according to coronary angiography report. Serum level of free testosterone was significantly lower in CAD group than Normal coronaries (4.74¡À2.10 vs 9.36¡À3.69 pg/ml, p=0.001). There were significant negative correlation between free testosterone with Gensini score (r= -0.739, p=0.001). Low level of free testosterone was negatively correlated with CAD and its severity in young adult male.},
