description | We describe a 56‐year old man with medically refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) who was referred for catheter ablation. His examination revealed features suggestive of acromegaly. The diagnosis was confirmed by elevated levels of insulin like growth factor‐1 and the presence of a pituitary adenoma. Following trans‐sphenoidal surgery, there was a reduction in PVC burden and no recurrence of VT. [Image: see text] |
