Improvement of Cardiac Function in a Patient with Heart Failure and LVAD Placement with Treatment of Undiagnosed Acromegaly

Loma Linda University Medical Center

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This case report explores the improved cardiac function of treating non- ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy with a left ventricular assist device. The importance of this case study underscores that possible early treatment of acromegalic cardiomyopathy could slow the progression of the cardiomyopathy and prevent invasive cardiac procedures.
