Popis: | Introduction: In patients with acromegaly and prolactinoma, the long-term presence of elevated GH and PRL levels is associated with an unfavorable cardiovascular risk profile. Early recognition of dysfunctions related to cardiovascular complications, which can be a significant contributor to mortality, is important. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship of four-dimensional speckle-tracking strain echocardiographic (4DSTE) measurements with asprosin, GDF-15 levels, and the Framingham cardiovascular risk score (FRS) in patients with acromegaly and prolactinoma. Methods: The study included 41 acromegaly [20F/21M, age: 49 (41-57)], 29 prolactinoma patients [18F/11M, age: 40 (28-48)] and 33 healthy control subjects [15F/18M, age: 48 (37-54)]. Data are presented as median with interquartile ranges (IQR). Anthropometric, biochemical and echocardiographic measurements were performed. Asprosin and GDF-15 levels were measured by ELISA. Results: Plasma asprosin concentration in the prolactinoma group [2.4 ng/mL (0.0-9.7)] was significantly lower than the concentration in both the acromegaly group [6.8 ng/mL (2.6-9.9)] and the control group [10.2 ng/mL (2.3-18.0)] (p=0.022 and p=0.006, respectively). In the study population, asprosin levels were positively correlated with age, FRS, and GDF-15 levels (r=0.361, p |
