"We present a case of a 22-year-old bodybuilder diagnosed with myocarditis secondary to clenbuterol use."
"Clenbuterol misuse can result in myocardial injury."
"A 22-year-old male with no comorbidities presented with a 3-day history of intermittent, central chest pain. On the day of presentation, he had 2 episodes of chest pain at rest of a few hours’ duration and occurring a few hours apart. It was associated with 3 episodes of vomiting. There were no other significant symptoms. The patient was a bodybuilder who started taking clenbuterol 1 week prior. He took the lowest recommended dose of 40 micrograms but was unforthcoming about the dosing frequency. He denied taking other performance-enhancing or recreational drugs. He did not smoke and drank alcohol socially. He was haemodynamically stable, and his physical examination was unremarkable"
"A repeat ECG confirmed ST changes in keeping with a posterior myocardial infarction (MI) with inferolateral involvement (
Fig. 2) and an urgent inpatient coronary angiogram was arranged. Prior to the procedure, the patient was treated with intravenous metoprolol for a tachycardia of 120 beats per minute. A brief echocardiogram carried out immediately before cardiac catheterization demonstrated regional wall motion abnormalities affecting the lateral and posterior basal segments. However, the results of the angiogram demonstrated that the coronary arteries were normal in appearance."
If you want to F**k up your own heart then go for it buddy. I won't shed a single tear for you, but within the context of this being a harm reduction board, you reccomending to indefinitely run clenbuterol while tiltrating the dose up and down is downright reckless, and stupid. I don't think anyone else should suffer, should they take your poor advice.
edit: just saw you changed your tune to 6 weeks before discontinuation. I still stand by 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off, starting the dose low (20mcg), and tiltrating up VERY slowly, never exceeding 100mcg. The heart isn't something you want to play with, and clenbuterol misuse can cause very severe problems
