Results of echocardiogram........

[galaxy]

Dimensions: left atrieum 3.7, aortic root 3.6, posterior wall thickness 1.4, left ventricular end diastolic dimension 5.1

LEFT ATRIUM: Normal in size

AORTIC VALVE: trileaflet. There were no abnormalities

MITRAL VALVE: leaflets appeared to be thin. There was trace to 1+ central mitral regurgitation present.

***LEFT VENTRICLE: Concentrically hypertrophied, with preserved systolic function. No sistinct wall motion abnormalities. There was an ectopic chord toward the apex, an incidental finding.

RIGHT HEART: Chambers were grossly normal in size. There was no significant pulmonic or tricuspid insufficiency demonstrated. There was no significant pericardial effusion.

CONCLUSIONS:
1. Minor mitral regurgitation.
2. Concentric left venticular hypertrophy with preserved systolic function.

I left office visit with prescription for blood pressure meds and cholesterol meds.WooHoo......not

Doc said my heart is enlarged and not in a good way. Says my results along with cholesterol are typical of 60 yr old man with diabetes and high BP. Cholesterol was 234 with good cholesterol totalling a whopping 15! I also have some traces of build up in my arteries already. Doc said meds would take care of this. BTW Im 29 yrs old. Anyone who can make sense of this, it would be greatly appreciated. Right now my thinking is that Im going to clean up my diet drastically and no more saturated fats!

Heart enlargement, this is one of the reasons why I am reducing my training frequency.

Uh, not to be rude, but could you give us less informed guys some context? What is your cycle history like, and is there any genetic predisposition for heart disease in your family?

I know you are looking for answers, not questions, but you've got me curious...

 

[galaxy]

On for over 1year. High doses. Not really sure on family history. Im speaking with mother tonite.

Damn. Well, I'm sorry to hear about this, bro. Keep us posted.

Hey bro would you mind if I sent this to my brother? He's a doctor and I'll see what feedback he can give me.

Hey bro, it may not be as bad as it sounds I wen through this shit a year ago. They found the enlargement and also a 2nd degree heart block. the doc was freaking the fuck out and scared the hell out of me. I went to an exercise cardiologist and he redid all the tests and then told me my doc was an asshole and that I had the heart of a very well trained athlete.

Now yes, some of your shit is bad like the lipids. the increased bp will cause the enlargement of the heart as will the AS-your heart is a msucle that will hypertrophy and store fluid especially on the left.

Do you use a lot of winny? What did your doses look like?

Dont use a lot of winny. Been on at least 1.5 g for over a year. My thinking is that the BP is the root of my problem because it has been elevated for so long. My thinking is that if I eat clean take my meds for a couple months. Get everything under control , then just continue with supplements and a clean diet and hopefully be able to drop the meds. Of course keep juicing. We will see though. My life is far more important to me and the thought of another man raising my 2yr old daugter kills me..................galaxy

galaxy, definately work on your diet. Try adding a few tablespoons of flax seed oil every day, reduce saturated fat. Reduce your intake of moderate and high GI carbs. Reduce your sodium intake, etc.

Guys when galaxy says high doses he doesn't mean a gram of test a week with a little deca. If I recall at one time you were on 1400 mg of test and 1400 mg of eq every week along with something like 200 mg of dbol a day. Give these newbies a little more info on this.
