- W1966787584 abstract "Objective To evaluate the prevalence of classic and nonclassic cardiovascular risk factors in patients with acromegaly. Methods Sixty-two patients with acromegaly (50 with active disease and 12 with controlled acromegaly) and 36 healthy persons (the control group) underwent measurement of lipids, fasting plasma glucose, homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) index, Lp(a), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), homocysteine, and variables primarily related to thrombogenesis (fibrinogen, antithrombin III, protein C, and protein S). Results In comparison with control subjects, patients with active acromegaly had significantly higher mean values of fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, Lp(a), HOMA-IR, and fibrinogen as well as lower mean levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and protein S. In both groups, homocysteine, antithrombin III, protein C, and hsCRP levels were similar. Moreover, patients with active acromegaly, in comparison with those who had controlled acromegaly, presented with significantly higher values of fasting plasma glucose, HOMA-IR, triglycerides, VLDL cholesterol, Lp(a), and fibrinogen, whereas hsCRP and protein S were significantly lower. Finally, low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and protein S as well as elevated values of VLDL cholesterol, triglycerides, HOMA-IR, and fasting plasma glucose were more prevalent in patients with active acromegaly than in the other groups. Conclusion Our findings demonstrate that, in comparison with control subjects and patients with controlled acromegaly, patients with active acromegaly had a higher frequency of classic and nonclassic cardiovascular risk factors. These findings are potentially very important because acromegaly is associated with a 2- to 3-fold increase in mortality rate, predominantly related to cardiovascular disease.
