So this is one of my concerns, the enlarged heart. I have searched alot, but either can't find answers or can't understand the tech talk.

Athlete heart is just raising the ability to pump blood, but once it is given a chance to recover it will return to normal?

Bodybuilders enlarged heart can either be brought on by being an athlete, in which it would also return to normal if given a break period, or by an actual enlargement of the ventricle due to high blood pressure and it does not return to normal when given a rest period?

When people say they got an enlarged heart from steroids, is it actually because of untreated high blood pressure and not the steroids themselves?

I know when growth hormones are entered in to the picture it is a different story. Any answers or links to info is greatly appreciated.
