20241 citationOpen accessMohammed V University

Abstract

Acromegalic cardiomyopathy is a significant cardiovascular complication associated with acromegaly, caused by excessive growth hormone production from a pituitary adenoma. Early diagnosis can be challenging due to its insidious nature. This case underscores the critical significance of timely medical intervention, illustrating favorable outcomes resulting from prompt therapeutic measures.
