Acromegaly frequently causes cardiovascular complications, including left ventricular hypertrophy and abnormal electrocardiograms. Treatment like hypophysectomy can reverse many cardiac issues, but not all.

Area of Science:

Cardiology
Endocrinology
Pulmonology

Context:

Acromegaly, a condition caused by excess growth hormone, significantly impacts cardiovascular health.
Non-invasive methods are crucial for assessing complications in acromegaly patients.

Purpose:

To determine the frequency of cardiovascular complications in acromegaly patients using non-invasive methods.
To evaluate the effectiveness of hypophysectomy in reversing cardiac complications.

Summary:

Seventy-one percent of 38 acromegaly patients exhibited cardiovascular alterations.
Left ventricular hypertrophy (68%) and abnormal electrocardiograms (71%) were common, with echocardiography being highly sensitive.
Pulmonary fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, and arterial hypertension were also prevalent; hypophysectomy showed significant regression of cardiac issues.
