Cardiac Remodeling from AAS

Definition

Long-term AAS use causes pathological cardiac remodeling — distinct from the physiological cardiac adaptation seen in endurance training. AAS-driven remodeling includes left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), myocardial fibrosis, diastolic dysfunction, and potentially irreversible structural changes. These changes are not captured by standard bloodwork and require echocardiography to detect.
