    Author: Wysoczanski M, Rachko M, Bergmann SR.
    Journal: Angiology; 2008; 59(3):376-8. PubMed ID: 18388062.
    Abstract:
    Anabolic-androgenic steroids are used worldwide to help athletes gain muscle mass and strength. Their use and abuse is associated with numerous side effects, including acute myocardial infarction (MI). We report a case of MI in a young 31-year-old bodybuilder. Because of the serious cardiovascular complications of anabolic steroids, physicians should be aware of their abuse and consequences.
