heart diease users

[teenmuscle]

any AS users have a history of heart problems . if so what do you guys do about that?

[obscured78]

why, do you have heart problems?

[Nekrawulf]

My mother's cardiologist told her that AS causes the heart to harden....

I have never heard that it actually hardens your heart.

Perhaps what he meant was that heavy cycles over a long time can cause problems with your lipid profile, especially your bad (LDL) cholesterol.

AS doesn't harden your heart...but smoking hardens your arteries.

[Golden_Muscle]

Steroids do harden something I think, maybe its your dick...I cant really remember.

[hitmansb]

I think that exercise in general enlarges your heart to some degree, but that's normal whether on AS or not.

AS cause muscles to grow..... The heart is a muscle, so I believe that AS will cause the heart to grow, more then it would have without AS....

Also, since AS raises bad cholesterol, you should always try and even that out by raising your good cholesterol, by doing some cardio, etc....

the heart is not affected in size by Steroid use because it is a smooth muscle rather than a striated one.. ,, You can get some heart related issues . from AAS such as high BP or High cholestrol .. but it is not hardened , or caused to grow . from normal steroid use . however , HGH will cause it to grow as well as other organs ...

Well, if this is true, then I stand corrected......

I realized that HGH makes all the bodies organs grow, but I did not realize that AS would only make striated muscles grow.....
