We report two cases of sudden cardiac death (SCD) involving previously healthy
bodybuilders who were chronic androgenic–anabolic steroids users. In both instances,
autopsies, histology of the organs, and toxicologic screening were performed. Our findings
support an emerging consensus that the effects of vigorous weight training, combined with
anabolic steroid use and increased androgen sensitivity, may predispose these young men
to myocardial injury and even SCD.
Abstract
We report two cases of sudden cardiac death (SCD) involving previously healthy bodybuilders who were chronic androgenic–anabolic steroids users. In both instances, autopsies, histology of the organs, and toxicologic screening were performed. Our findings support an emerging consensus that the effects of vigorous weight training, combined with anabolic steroid use and increased androgen sensitivity, may predispose these young men to myocardial injury and even SCD.
