  • Artery blockage

    Does anyone know if taking gear can/will block arteries?

    I ask because i went for a routine checkup with a cardiologist due to heart issues within my family, specifically my father.

    After a stress test and a nuclear stress test, it appears I may have some blockage. A further test will be done and, if conclusive, a stint will be put in.

    Any info would be great

        Here is clip i found. However, i do get bloodwork done twice per year and my cholesterol levels are fine.


        Steroid abuse has been associated with cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including heart attacks and strokes, even in athletes younger than 30. Steroids contribute to the development of CVD, partly by changing the levels of lipoproteins that carry cholesterol in the blood. Steroids, particularly oral steroids, increase the level of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and decrease the level of high-density lipoprotein (HDL). High LDL and low HDL levels increase the risk of atherosclerosis, a condition in which fatty substances are deposited inside arteries and disrupt blood flow. If blood is prevented from reaching the heart, the result can be a heart attack. If blood is prevented from reaching the brain, the result can be a stroke
