Of the 20 patients, 8 had no evidence by echocardiogram of carcinoid heart disease; 2 had changes in the tricuspid valve echogram suggestive of early carcinoid heart disease, and the other 10 patients had the following distinctive echocardiographic findings: (1) the pattern of right ventricular ...

Carcinoid heart disease is not as common in our patients as in patients selected on a cardiological basis described in earlier studies. Echocardioraphy appers to be the most efficient technique for detection of even subclinical heart involvement and a useful tool for following its progress.doi:...

Three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography showed a tricuspid valve thickened and retracted with restricted mobility called a club-shaped leaflet, and with this, a diagnosis of carcinoid heart disease was made. This case mainly aims at stressing the need for early echo in neuroendocrine patients, which...

HEART diseasesBackground: Carcinoid heart disease is a rare disease which develops in patients with functional neuroendocrine tumors in an advanced tumor state. Patients diagnosed with carcinoid heart disease have a poor longtime prognosis with respect to morbidity and mortality and long-term data on ...
