“Old Tools, New Questions: What Calibrated Integrated Backscatter Reveals About Subclinical Cardiac Remodeling in AAS Users”
Calibrated integrated backscatter (ciB) is revisited as a potential echocardiographic marker of subclinical myocardial remodeling in anabolic-androgenic steroid users. This commentary highlights its ability to bridge myocardial structure and tissue characterization, while addressing current limitations in standardization and clinical applicability.
