| Popis: | Acromegaly is a systemic disease associated with great morbidity and increased mortality if not adequately treated. In the past decades much improvement has been achieved in its treatment and in the knowledge of its comorbidities. We provide an update of acromegaly management with current recommendations. We also address long-term comorbidities emphasizing the changing face of the disease in more recent series, with a decrease of cardiovascular disease severity and an increased awareness of comorbidities like bone disease, manifested mainly as vertebral fractures and the change in the main cause of death (from cardiovascular disease to cancer in more recent series). |
