Persistent reduction of circulating myeloid calcifying cells in acromegaly. Relevance to the bone-vascular axis.

Conclusions: In patients with acromegaly, the levels of MCCs are reduced and remain low even years after complete cure. This finding may be related to low atherosclerotic calcification and persistence of bone pathology after acromegaly remission or cure.
