Growth Hormone and the Heart Sacca, Luigi; Cittadini, A., Fazio, S. - Endocrinology Review 1994; 15: 555 - 573
In Naples, Italy, in 1989, Dr. Luigi Sacca, and other researchers, conducted a research study on patients who had experienced moderate to severe heart failure. They studied and evaluated the effects of using [ synthetic ]Human Growth Hormone ( HGH ).
They discovered that when HGH was given in addition to standard treatment for heart failure, this treatment produced an increase in efficiency of the energy consumption and also the ability of the heart to pump a higher volume of blood.
At the same time, the HGH treatment also caused a similar increase in blood circulation, by reducing peripheral vascular resistance.
This important research study prepared the way for the use of Human Growth Hormone ( HGH ) to enhance cardiovascular output in healthy people.
Moreover, it revealed that HGH therapy could be used as another beneficial medical treatment plan for patients with heart disease.
