Acromegaly is a relatively uncommon endocrinology disease which can cause hypertension, atherosclerosis and heart failure. Echocardiography usually reveals the presence of cardiomyopathy often called as acromegalic cardiomyopathy. Clinically evident heart failure as a presenting manifestation in acromegalics is an uncommon presentation. We report a case of a 40 year old female with features of acromegaly that came to medical attention due to congestive cardiac failure.
