Acromegaly is characterized by chronic growth hormone hypersecretion. Cardiovascular alterations such as hypertension, left ventricular hypertrophy, cardiac rhythm disturbances and valvular disease are common in this disease and are the main cause of death. Control of acromegaly by surgery or pharmacotherapy has been shown to improve cardiovascular morbidity. We report a case of acromegalic myocardiopathy in a 59-year-old woman with dilated myocardiopathy who presented ventricular diameter and contractility normalization following medical treatment.
