Prevalence and Characteristics of Heart Disease in Patients with Acromegaly in Colombia (RAPACO HEART Study)

Notably, carpal tunnel syndrome was independently associated with AHD, alongside HTN, arrhythmias, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. These findings underscore the need for proactive cardiovascular screening and management strategies in this patient population.
