Massive Left Ventricular Hypertrophy With Acromegaly
Acromegaly—a rare endocrine disorder—results when a growth hormone–secreting somatotroph pituitary adenoma leads to increased insulin-like growth factor 1 production. Acromegaly is known to cause left ventricular hypertrophy. We present a case of acromegaly with massive left ventricular hypertrophy...

| description | Acromegaly—a rare endocrine disorder—results when a growth hormone–secreting somatotroph pituitary adenoma leads to increased insulin-like growth factor 1 production. Acromegaly is known to cause left ventricular hypertrophy. We present a case of acromegaly with massive left ventricular hypertrophy that was determined to be coexistent with gene-positive hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
