Abstract Background: Considering the uncertainty regarding the cardiovascular safety of anabolic steroid use, we believe that the use of advanced echocardiography techniques, such as speckle tracking, may contribute more objectively to the analysis of cardiotoxicity induced by these substances. Objectives: To compare, through speckle tracking, the echocardiograms of bodybuilders who abuse anabolic steroids with those who do not use these substances. Methodology: This work is a retrospective, observational study that analyzed echocardiograms performed on bodybuilders followed up in an outpatient […]
