Abstract
Aim. To review the literature on topical issues of possible complications of the use of androgenic anabolic steroids (AAS) from the cardiovascular system and the role of abuse of AAS in increasing individual cardiovascular risk. Key points. The article reflects the historical stages of the application of AAS. The main pathophysiological mechanisms of the development of undesirable effects from the cardiovascular system have been established. Potential strategies for reducing the risk of side effects and complications from the circulatory system are proposed. Conclusion. There is a trend of steadily increasing consumption of AAS in the absence of medical recommendations and control, which creates significant prerequisites for increasing cardiovascular risk in people engaged in recreational physical activity who do not fall into the field of preventive cardiology. Keywords: androgenic anabolic steroids, testosterone, cardiovascular system, side effects, complications, risk reduction strategies.
