Individuals with complete heart block (CHB) may be predisposed to develop anterior pituitary hormone dysfunction in the long term. The objective of this study was to investigate anterior pituitary hormone functions in individuals after CHB.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>This prospective cohort study included 30 individuals (21 men and 9 women) with CHB requiring pacemaker implantation, who were evaluated at admission and then at a mean follow up of 12.4 \u00b1 2.2 months to look for development of any degree of hypopituitarism. In addition to the measurement of hormones like follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), total tetra iodothyronines (TT4), free tetraiodothyronines (FT4), cortisol, insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), testosterone and estradiol, a fixed-dose glucagon stimulation test (GST) was performed to assess growth hormone (GH) and adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH) axis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The mean age of the participants was 64.9 \u00b1 11.3 yr. At follow up evaluation, 17 (56.7%) had low serum IGF-1, and among them, seven (23%) had growth hormone deficiency (GHD) (peak GH &lt;1.0 ng\/ml after GST). Six participants (20%) had ACTH deficiency (peak cortisol &lt;9 ug\/dl after GST) and one had TSH deficiency. None had prolactin (PRL) or gonadotropin deficiency.
