Abstract:
Hypopituitarism is a rare condition that presents significant diagnostic challenges, particularly in elderly patients (over 65 years of age). It often manifests with a range of symptoms affecting multiple organ systems, with cardiovascular involvement being uncommon. As a result, the underlying diagnosis may be easily overlooked. Physicians must maintain a high level of awareness about hypopituitarism to establish an accurate diagnosis and initiate appropriate treatment. This study reviews recent advances in understanding the cardiovascular manifestations of hypopituitarism.
