Long-lasting heart disease risk and reduced quality of life linked to steroids

[madman]

Studies show anabolic steroids have long-lasting harmful effects, including heart disease and reduced quality of life, even after discontinuation. Researchers from Copenhagen University Hospital Rigshospitalet found that both current and former users had poor blood flow to the heart, increasing the risk of heart disease. Former users also reported worse physical and mental health, including lower testosterone levels. These findings suggest that former anabolic steroid users may face persistent health issues, highlighting the need for further research to better understand the risks associated with these performance-enhancing drugs.

“Previous studies have shown that the heart function almost normalizes after anabolic steroids are discontinued, but our study suggests that former anabolic steroid users are at an increased risk of heart disease years after stopping as cardiac microcirculation – the blood flow through the smallest vessels in the circulatory system – seems persistently impaired,” said lead author Dr. Yeliz Bulut. “The previous use of anabolic steroids could be a new risk factor for developing cardiovascular disease.”

Once again, the "crack" team of scientists puts out a boogyman report on "steroids" but doesn't define what they mean by "using steroids", thus rendering everything they say to be useless. Is a man who takes 120mg/week of cypionate a "steriod user"? We don't know. But he is potentially lumped in with men who are taking huge doses of various compounds.

This is sloppy science. IDK how they report this stuff with a straight face

For one, you would have to deconvolute the AAS from chronic low T after taking them.

Stats and statistical power is suspect in study above.
