High blood presssure is the most hazardous effect that I know of.

roids will make ur bp go up making your heart work harder and overtime will thicken the arteryventrical walls in your heart putting you at greater risk for heart disease

I guess it's the same with deca and eq

I think ill stick to primo

another thing, typically the left ventricular will be one that thickens as this is the ventricle responsible for pumping blood through out the body.

I think it also has to be dosed ***endant. I use 100mg a week for TRT and testosterone has benefits for me, where as someone may use 500mg/week and suffer from more side effects.

AAS users can suffer from enlarged hearts and in particular, the left ventricle. I would be interested in how what tests are available to check for heart and other cardiovascular problems.

Which one would be a test that your doctor would conduct? I don't know enouh about these tests and whether they would be appropriate. For instance would a echocardiogram pick-up an enlarged heart?

a radiologist can diagnose an enlarged heart with a simple xray...an EKG would pick it up too

Ultrasound, I have them done periodically as I was born with a slight defect in my tricuspid valve. Just makes it kind of "leaky" resulting in somewhat of a murmur. Its a pretty awesome test to have done as you can see your heart working on a screen and all they do is put some gel on you and slide around a handheld device on your chest.
