An unusual concomitance of acute heart failure: prolactinoma in a patient with left ventricular dysfunction-a case report.

Prolactinoma in men, which can cause visual loss and hypopituitarism, is frequently substantial when diagnosed. The cardiac manifestation of prolactinoma is uncommon. It is believed that a major contributing component to the pathogenesis of peripartum cardiomyopathy is hyperprolactinaemia. Hyperprolactinaemia may cause endothelial damage and cardiomyocyte dysfunction, eventually resulting in LV dysfunction. The success of LV reverse remodelling may be significantly impacted by heart failure and hormone treatments. Heart failure and endocrine therapy should be administered concurrently to patients who have prolactinoma and congestive heart failure.
