Key result
Anabolic-androgenic steroids linked to higher risk of major cardiovascular events.
Why the study?
The use of muscle-enhancing steroids has raised widespread concern regarding effects on cardiovascular health, notably their link to heart attacks.
Does the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids increase the risk of heart attacks and cardiovascular issues?
Does the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids increase the risk of heart attacks and cardiovascular issues?
This review explores the physiological pathways linking anabolic-androgenic steroids to cardiovascular issues such as heart attacks, hypertension, and dyslipidemia.

Kumari et al. (2024) conducted a review in Cardiovascular disease and heart attacks. Muscle-enhancing steroids (Anabolic-androgenic steroids) vs. Non-users was evaluated on Cardiovascular events (heart attacks, hypertension, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis). Muscle-enhancing steroids, particularly anabolic-androgenic steroids, are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events including hypertension, dyslipidemia, atherosclerosis, and heart attacks.
