Brief Summary:
Acromegaly is a disease characterized by excess growth hormone(GH) and insulin like growth factor(IGF)-1. Pituitary GH secreting adenoma is the major cause of acromegaly. Acromegalic cardiomyopathy is one of the leading causes of death in acromegalic patients. No efficient medicine is available for acromegalic cardiomyopathy until now and there were limited studies. Empagliflozin is proved to decrease the risk of heart failure in diabetic patients and independent of blood glucose control. We planed to evaluate the structure of heart by MRI before and after 6 months treatment with empagliflozin in acromegalic patients to investigate the effect of empagliflozin on acromegalic cardiomyopathy.
