Recurrent paradoxical embolism complicating severe thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.

abstract：:Heart disease frequently occurs in advanced acromegaly. In order to investigate cardiac mass and function in acromegaly in the absence of obvious cardiac disease, we performed Doppler echocardiography in 15 asymptomatic acromegalic patients (six of them had systemic hypertension). The data were compared with those of ...
