Sex hormones tested as shields against deadly drug side effect

NCT ID NCT04675788

Summary

This study tested if short-term hormone treatments could protect the heart from a dangerous side effect caused by some medications. Researchers gave progesterone to older women and testosterone to older men to see if it reduced a specific heart rhythm risk triggered by a test drug. The goal was to find a way to make necessary medications safer for high-risk, older adults.
