Any real doctors out there that can answer this?

I agree 100%. Funny how I got attacked by Fonz when I said this very same thing in the HighIntensity cancer thread (cancer fighting supplements or something).

You're such a moron AGAIN.

You're comparing CANCER to a cardiac problem.

Ugghh...........god morons just are such a bloody nuisance.

Muscle Doc, a Mod here on EF, is also a real doctor in Venezuela. You might ask him the question. He's very knowledgable.

Hey, just got back from doctor's.
He gave me a clean bill of health.

He said just remember "all steroid gains are temporary".

He also suggested I have all my blood work pulled so he could monitor it.

So thanks everyone for the advice and heads up !!!

Atrial Septum Defect. There is a comunication between the right and left atrium ( upper chambers of the heart) that remains open by the time of birth, and if it is big enough, low oxigenized blood from the right atrium will be mixed to the oxigenized blood in the left atrium, and this can cause improper cell oxigenation.
Surgery is done by stitching or fixing a patch over the " hole". Heart will function normally and you´ll be good as new.
As for the As cycle...You know you are at a higher risk to develop endocarditis, so a series of IM injections would be potentially dangerous without antibiotic profilaxis, and taking antibiotics for weeks is just not wise.
If I were you I´d do Oxandrolone and creatine.

Partially correct, an asd is indeed a communcation with the left and rt atrium. For background, everyone has a whole there, its necessary for blood to flow during life in the womb, its there so umbilical blood can flow across into the left side of the heart which pumps it out to the body. The rt heart pumps blood to the lungs, but since you a living in fluid in the womb, the lungs dont breathe air. Typically the blood oxygenation is not a problem b/c the Left side is under higher pressure, it typically means that the oxygenated blood leaks L>R, not the other way around so the oxyenation on the right goes up, but the low o2 blood doesnt mix across. If left untreated increased pressure in the lungs will reverse the shunt so its R>L called eisenmengers syndrome and of sourse you rt heart has failed by that time. There is a risk of stroke from paradoxical embolus created in the legs, but if it is truly fixed then this wont happen.
The endocarditis is a risk if its open but, but only with dental work and IV shots, not IM- again this wont happen unless its still open or you. IF the asd is closed there is no greater risk to you than the general population of using AAS. This of course, is not to replace your physician, so Id recommend a bubble study with ultrasound at a cardiologist to be truly safe. They basically inject air into the vein and see if it crosses the septum using ultrasound. This is an interesting remnant from your embryo days. Usually they close by them selves shortly after birth and are more common than youd think. I see these alot especially in newborn hearts, especially if they are premature.
