Building Body With Anabolics Is Weakening the Heart: Anabolic Steroid Induced Cardiomyopathy

Anabolic steroid (AS) use is common in young males, with several reports of various adverse cardiovascular events in the users of AS. We present a unique case of a young male with no other risk factors who developed dilated cardiomyopathy secondary to abuse of AS. The exact mechanism by which AS lea...

description Anabolic steroid (AS) use is common in young males, with several reports of various adverse cardiovascular events in the users of AS. We present a unique case of a young male with no other risk factors who developed dilated cardiomyopathy secondary to abuse of AS. The exact mechanism by which AS leads to cardiomyopathy is not very well understood. No specific guidelines have been developed yet with regard to the management of AS-induced cardiomyopathy currently. Adverse events from AS must be promoted to increase awareness in the general and medical population.
