Anabolic steroids and HGH are two different things
HGH is popular with older men for its anti-aging properties. A common negative side effect is that it can enlarge internal organs such as the heart, liver, kidneys, intestines, etc.
Anabolic steroids (testosterone) have been shown to correlate with thickening of the heart’s left ventricle.
But the most common cause, by far, of ventricle thickening is high blood pressure. And steroid use raises blood pressure, but studies have shown that if BP is controlled medically while on cycle, there’s no appreciable thickening of heart walls.
If more men would have the foresight to consult with a doctor and get prescribed BP meds while on cycle, there’d be a lot less cardiac trouble
In any event, a 71 year old man suffering a cardiac event is not exactly a rare occurrence nor is it “suspicious”. Automatically assuming Hogan died from his former steroid use is jumping to conclusions. It’s entirely possible he had a heart attack because he was, y’know, 71 and the heart has a shelf life.
