Although controversial, there is evidence to support a direct effect of improved skeletal muscle strength and mass by anabolic steroids in weight-training athletes. The influence of these drugs on the myocardial hypertrophy demonstrated by these individuals is unknown. Echocardiographic measurements of left ventricular dimensions and function were evaluated in 15 steroid-using body builders and compared to body builders not taking these drugs as well as an inactive control group. Significant increase in left ventricular posterior wall (LVPW) and ventricular septal (VS) thickness as well as an elevated VS/LVPW ratio were noted in both weight-lifting groups compared to controls. There were no differences, however, between the weight lifters with and without anabolic steroid use in any of the measurements. These data indicate no potentiating effects of these drugs on the myocardial hypertrophy observed with weight training.
尽管存在争议，但有证据支持合成代谢类固醇对进行负重训练的运动员的骨骼肌力量和质量提升有直接作用。这些药物对这些个体所表现出的心肌肥大的影响尚不清楚。对15名使用类固醇的健美运动员进行了左心室尺寸和功能的超声心动图测量，并与未服用这些药物的健美运动员以及一个不运动的对照组进行了比较。与对照组相比，两个负重训练组的左心室后壁（LVPW）和室间隔（VS）厚度均显著增加，且VS/LVPW比值升高。然而，在任何测量中，使用和未使用合成代谢类固醇的举重运动员之间均无差异。这些数据表明，这些药物对负重训练所导致的心肌肥大没有增强作用。
