How does Leuprolide influence vascular health and blood flow, and what are the potential cardiovascular implications of its use in various medical conditions?
Leuprolide, a GnRH agonist, may increase the risk of cardiovascular disease by affecting hormone levels, potentially leading to altered lipid profiles and insulin resistance, impacting overall vascular health.
Leuprolide can decrease estrogen and testosterone levels, affecting vascular tone and blood flow. This may increase the risk of cardiovascular events, especially in patients with pre-existing conditions.
