[bigmusclehead]

on other boards theres alot of threads on heart related problems.more specificly enlarge hearts.from what i know i thought this condition was extremely rare.also there was comments on irregular heart beats or pvc's or left ventrical problems occuring.can this or does anyone know if these problems are common occurances or rare.i mean if it were really a problem wouldn't the bbers in the pro ranks who juice for years be dropping dead more often.

THE heart is a muscle so its gonna get bigger...yes it dose exist i think thats what lyel alzado died of ???? not sure and arnould had some heart probs...so yes its out there........no you dont hear about it a lot but yes its out there

bigmusclehead-

was it a tumor or a anureziom

 

[bigmusclehead]

yep,it was a tumour now wether it was brought on by roids as some believed i don't know,i personally can;t see it plus an acquaintance of mine knew his ex wife.oh and i'm a little confused about the skelital muscle comment please clarify.

FYI: The heart is cardiac muscle, not skeletal.

The heart does hypertrophy, yes. But it's not always a bad thing, actually most of the time it's a good thing. With CV training the chamber size and muscle mass increase, which increases SV and decreases HR submaximally...which means a more efficient heart.

Steroids wouldn't have any effect on whether you get PVC's or not...that's a problem with the electrical conducting system.

so dose being a cardiac muscle have any impact on why or why not it would grow as a result of as use????

I'm gonna do a little search through some journals and see what i can dig up...but my guess would be this:

Steroids don't actually cause muscles to get bigger, the workouts do...steroids just enhance the effect. So I would guess that if you don't do cardio while on, the heart enlargment will be minimal. But like i said...i'll check it out.
