right i read about half the responses and saw a bunch of flames, and arguments for nothing
AAS can cause stroke via a few modes, as described by some people here. atherosclerosis is one of the mechanisms, because despite what has been said in this thread, AAS WILL affect blood lipid profiles, and therefore affect atherosclerosis. AAS will also alter electrolyte levels, which, depending on what is happening to blood volume and blood movement at the time, may indeed precipitate a stroke via a blowout (ie high blood pressure leading to a bleed in the brain) OR may concentrate/stagnate clotting factors sufficiently to cause a blood clot, which may lodge in the brain and hence cause a stroke. furthermore, the change in red blood cell numbers will play a role, in regards to blood viscocity, and decreased clotting threshold (meaning you get clots more easily).
on the other hand, a clotting disorder can certainly cause a stroke, through the production of a blood clot somewhere or other that ends up in the brain. no worries, this can happen easily.
as for the cause of this guys particular stroke, well, no one will know unless they invent a time machine, and some sort of total body blood clot or bleed detector at the precise moment the patient developed the abnormality that precipitated teh stroke.
so STFU already. both will do it with ease, ad for those talking about doses etc of steroids that will do it, ANY AAS will affect at least one of the factors i have spoken about, and therefore highten stroke risk. you can use ANY steroid you want, and the increase in muscle volumre etc, at some point, will change body vasculature and peripheral resistance to blood movement, and will therefore affect blood stagnation and the concentrating of clotting factors, thereby increasing risk of a clot.
so quit with the flames already
