Increased Myocardial Infarction Risk from TRT? Dr Saya, Dr Crisler, Jasen, Nelson, thoughts?

[FrankUnderwood]

Read this research abstract today on increased risk of non-fatal myocardial infarction following the start of a TRT regimen , and wanted to see if the community had any thoughts, positive or negative, on the results.

Abstract link - http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0085805

Would be very very interested in hearing thoughts from Dr Saya, Dr Crisler, Jasen and Nelson.

Old news, was published over 2 years ago and was part of the ambulance chasing attorney TV commercials you likely saw pop up around that time.

I've, quite literally, spent 100 hours or more answering patient questions and counseling on this very topic, so forgive if I seem a bit terse on the subject. The data has been discussed (and discredited) thoroughly. I agree with Coastwatcher, Nelson has compiled some good info on the topic.
