摘要：
Hypopituitary adults with untreated growth hormone deficiency (GHD) have reduced life expectancy from cardiovascular disease. The positive effects of GH on cardiac structure and function have, therefore, been advocated in favor of GH replacement therapy for such patients. The relevance of these effects to GHD management is discussed in this Viewpoint.
