Thrilled to be sharing our approach in managing CV risk among athletes using anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS)
Given AAS increasing use amount recreational athletes, it's important to understand the relationship between AAS and CV risk

Well designed RCT shows patients randomized to an exercise program had substantially improved survival after adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer.
- 5 yr disease-free survival 80.3% vs
73.9% (HR 0.72)
- 8 yr overall survival 90.3% vs 83.2% (HR 0.63)
This is groundbreaking!

Excited to share our published review on AAS 💉 use among recreational athletes and CV🫀risk.
Particularly given recent announcement of ‘Enhanced Games’ which encourage PED use such as AAS.
Huge thanks to @DrPRao for ongoing guidance/support.

📢Can deep phenotyping and proteomic profiling identify new #biomarkers in Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy?
🧬In @CircHF, we leverage OLINK #proteomics to measure >250 proteins in genotype positive #HCM with Cardiac MR data.

4 weeks of the arm in a cast:
-22% strength 🏋️♀️
-4% muscle mass 💪
However, these changes can be offset by resistance training 🏋️♀️the opposite arm 3 times per week: journals.physiology.org/doi/…

🫀Does exercise intensity or duration impact heart health more?
A study shows longer exercise duration at lower intensity is linked to higher coronary artery calcification, while higher intensity reduces it
Balance your workouts to maximize benefits ⏳🏋🏻

Extreme exercise and longevity: detrimental or beneficial?
bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2…
In a retrospective study of the 1st 200 athletes to run < 4 minute miles, there was evidence of several (~5) years longer lifespan compared with the general population. Still an unsettled question, but certainly supports lack of harm

Muscle as an immune regulatory organ.
It's imperative to recognise the multifaceted role of skeletal muscle beyond its traditional function in movement.
This is what you need to know.

Lifelong strength training preserves fast-twitch muscle fibers, whereas lifelong endurance training does not.
This does not mean RE>AE.
It does mean though, they confer unique benefits.
