65 yo man with history of CAD and prior MI, HLD, HTN, ventricular tachycardia, and syncope was admitted earlier today evaluation of syncope and ventricular arrhythmias. He was recently discharged after a negative work-up for syncope which included the implantation of a cardiac monitoring device. It was interrogated at the OSH and per report the monitor read from yesterday: 40 seconds of VT and then bradycardia with a rate of 39 shortly thereafter corresponding with his symptoms. Overnight, the patient went into monomorphic VT on telemetry. The patient was found to be unresponsive. CPR was initiated, unclear if the patient had a pulse. Within one minute the patient returned to sinus rhythm. The patient does not report any symptoms prior to this episode. Currently, the patient feels presyncope and nausea, but denies chest pain. Patient is to be transferred to the CCU for catheterization and EPS.

He was recently discharged after a negative work-up for syncope which included the implantation of a cardiac monitoring device. It was interrogated at the OSH and per report the monitor read from yesterday: 40 seconds of VT and then bradycardia with a rate of 39 shortly thereafter corresponding with his symptoms. Overnight, the patient went into monomorphic VT on telemetry. The patient was found to be unresponsive. CPR was initiated, unclear if the patient had a pulse. Within one minute the patient returned to sinus rhythm. The patient does not report any symptoms prior to this episode. Currently, the patient feels presyncope and nausea, but denies chest pain. Patient is to be transferred to the CCU for catheterization and EPS.

A 35-year-old woman presents with history of acne and mild hirsutism. The primary evaluation revealed elevated testosterone levels. She recently noticed gradual enlargement of her hands and feet and recognized that her ring is getting small for her finger. There is some irregularity in her menstrual cycle as well as some nipple discharge. She also has positive history for snoring and headache. The physical examination revealed subtle facial features of acromegaly and prognathism. Visual fields are normal by confrontation. Hirsutism, soft tissue thickening and diaphoresis of the hands and feet are noted. Laboratory evaluation in the fasting state reveals IGF-1 of 968 ng/mL and random GH of 19.7 ng/mL. MRI reveals a macroadenoma with no invasion. She is on stable doses of octreotide LAR since her diagnosis was confirmed. She is married and has 2 children. She is using IUD as her contraceptive method.
eligible ages (years): 18.0-999.0, Acromegaly The patient must have a clinical diagnosis of acromegaly The patient must have been tested and shown to have a GH level less than or equal to 10 micrograms/L within 28 days prior to the baseline visit The patient must be currently treated with Somatuline Autogel and have been stable on their current dose for at least 6 months immediately prior to screening The patient must be able to store study medication in a refrigerator in their own home The patient has had pituitary surgery (adenomectomy) within 6 months prior to screening The patient has received pituitary radiotherapy within one year prior to screening The patient is likely to require pituitary surgery (adenomectomy) or to receive radiotherapy during the study period The patient is currently receiving a GH antagonist or a somatostatin analogue other than Somatuline Autogel

Criteria-Control Subjects: All control subjects will meet the outlined for the female unaffected relatives. In Iceland, control subjects will be recruited from the Icelandic national registry, matched by age and sex to PCOS subjects and their family members. They will otherwise be recruited at random.
