Abstract
Anabolic steroids have been associated with a variety of adverse reactions, including myocardial infarction. We report two cases of myocardial infarction in young men on anabolic steroids. In both men, extensive intracoronary thrombosis was demonstrated at coronary angiography; this failed to resolve despite anticoagulation.Keywords
