Yeah. Dont really a good thing. You liver will swell if you push it . Like high protein and high carbs. I think mine came from slin orals and high protein but i have to wait till end of the month to see a new doc. Obese people have them.

There is no shrinking the heart or liver. All you can do is take care of what you have. I have been told I have an enlarged heart from exercise over the years. It has been suggested by one of my drs i take heart meds but im not interested yet. I have a good resting heart rate and bp. I do make sure to take in a good amount of healthy fats even coq10. Hoping that stuff helps.

I take omegas everyday. And coq10 as well. Im not on anything and liver count is on point. They just said enlarged as for the liver. Might be fatty

So what are the ramifications of either enlarged heart or liver? I mean can it be fatal? Does the heart enlarge due to the rapid beats from intense activity, ie bodybuilding or is it from anabolics? or something else? Hoping and praying for Freak that its reversible...

I was diagnosed as having a fatty liver 20 years ago. Everytime I get my bloods done my doc asks me if I am a drinker. I don't drink alcohol, period. So the doc sent me in to have a liver scan to rule out tumors. They didn't find anything. The problem is that a fatty liver can progress to scirosis (sp?). I take NAC, TUDCA, Milk Thistle and Dandelion Root to keep my liver in check.

must look in to that..
The heart grows like any other muscle in your body and when training hard it grows, and it does NOT shrink back down when you stop training or juicing. Obviously if juicing ur heart will grow like all the other juiced muscles.
My doctor explained it to me like this a long ass time ago. He said the problem with an enlarged heart is it doesn't pump as hard or effectively , he said imaging blowing up a ballon, the pressure in and around balloon is good and solid, now imagine letting the air out of balloon some but the balloon didn't shrink back down, it stayed stretched out, it would be kinda floppy and flimsy like with not nearly as much pressure around it.
that is exactly how he explained it to me a long time ago, now i don't know it to be true but it makes sense lol

Haven't come across this before. I wonder how much of t is hereditary? None? Your enlargement is directly related to AAS and Slin???

DAMN KIDS, LOL. I have the same feeling. An enlarged heart comes from hard training and increases in size with anabolics.
Kids sure change the game. Life is a Mother Fucker and we need to be here as long as possible for support. I feel you bro. I just do the best thing possible. First I dont want to know me, much less them know me if I didnt train. Its part of me but I can keep my saturated fats, processed sugars down. Keep stress as low as possible, yeah right!
and get adequate cardio in to keep my heart healthy.
This is the path we choose but we need to do it in the right way.
Good luck, but your not alone
