In cases with no adequate controls of hormonal disturbances in acromegaly, cardiomyopathy leads to the formation of diastolic heart failure. Surgical and pharmacological (using somatostatin analogues) treatment of acromegaly leads to the improvement of the heart condition and regress LVMH, especially in young patients (younger than 40 years) with a small duration of disease (no more than 5 years). Meaningful morpho-functional and hemodynamic parameters improvement observed in middle-aged patients.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Частым осложнением акромегалии у пациентов любого возраста является акромегалическая кардиомиопатия, для которой характерно формирование гипертрофии миокарда левого желудочка (ГМЛЖ), возникновение нарушений сердечного ритма. В случаях, когда гормональные нарушения при акромегалии остаются без адекватного контроля, кардиомиопатия приводит к формированию диастолической сердечной недостаточности. Хирургическое и медикаментозное (с помощью аналогов соматостатина) лечение акромегалии приводит к улучшению состояния сердца и регрессу ГМЛЖ, особенно у молодых пациентов (моложе 40 лет) с небольшой длительностью заболевания (не более 5 лет). Значимое улучшение морфо-функциональных и гемодинамических параметров отмечается и у пациентов среднего возраста.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Acromegaly</kwd><kwd>akromegalic cardiomyopathy</kwd><kwd>left ventricle myocardial hypertrophy</kwd><kwd>octreotide</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Акромегалия</kwd><kwd>акромегалическая кардиомиопатия</kwd><kwd>гипертрофия миокарда левого желудочка</kwd><kwd>октреотид</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>1.
