Creatine Screws With Your Heart???

I've been hearing some things and doing some thinking... Creatine makes muscles bigger and what not... well... your heart is a muscle (prob the muscle that experiences most of the creatine in ur blood)... so can creatine make your heart bigger or lead to irregularities???

Creatine won't make muscles bigger, it just helps you to get better workouts. It does so by providing a source to replenish ATP in your muscles...your 16, thats when I took bio, check ATP in your textbook. It can actually be beneficial for the heart, my buddy is in med school right now and is doing research with one of his professors on creatine. He goes to the University of Rochester, there specifically looking for cardiovascular benefits from creatine supplementation. Should be interesting stuff.

You apparently haven't looked at the research showing it promotes more lean mass in subjects over placebo, and why this happens (decrease leucine oxidation, IGF-1, etc).
