Author(s): Qiuyue Fang, Yulou Liu, Chuzhong Li, Songbai Gui and Yazhuo Zhang*
Objective: Previous studies showed acromegaly have significant higher prevalence of ventricular arrhythmias and often complicated by diabetes mellitus (DM) and hypertension (HT). Both HT and DM are notoriously associated with the development of arrhythmias. However, the effect of complication (DM and/or HT) in acromegaly on ventricular arrhythmias and the risk of ventricular arrhythmias in acromegaly accept therapy but no control is largely unknown. Methods: A cross-sectional study with 307 acromegaly and 303 patients with non-functional pituitary adenoma as control group. All subjects divided into acromegaly with/without complication and controls with/without complication. In the longitudinal study, 30 persistent uncontrolled active acromegaly with at least three months follow-up. Electrocardiographic Measurements, laboratory examination, a.. Read More»
