Abstract

This case report explores the improved cardiac function of treating non- ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy with a left ventricular assist device. The importance of this case study underscores that possible early treatment of acromegalic cardiomyopathy could slow the progression of the cardiomyopathy and prevent invasive cardiac procedures.
