Background: Successful treatment of acromegaly improves disease-related cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, but its effects on autonomic modulation of the heart rate are unknown.
Objectives: We documented treatment-induced changes in time-domain heart rate variability, taking into account the confounding effects of obstructive sleep apnea.
Patients And Methods: Sixteen consecutive patients (12 males, aged 43 ± 12 y) with newly diagnosed acromegaly underwent overnight (12:00-7:00 am) cardiac Holter recordings coupled with polysomnography.
