Right-sided valvular heart disease occurs frequently in patients with carcinoid syndrome, involving most commonly the tricuspid and pulmonary valves. Involvement of the left-sided valves rarely occurs. Medical therapy for carcinoid heart disease includes digitalis and diuretics for congestive heart failure ...

Carcinoid syndrome is often complicated by carcinoid heart disease. Deposition of carcinoid plaques on the endocardium of the tricuspid and pulmonary valves causes the typical echocardiographic iconography with thickening of the leaflets and valvular insufficiency and/or stenosis leading to right heart failur...
in patients with severe carcinoid heart disease leading to right ventricular failure, reconstructive valvular surgery is of obvious beneficial value and should be considered when the malignant disease is under control and clinical signs of right heart failure cannot be managed medically. the pathognomon...
Carcinoid Heart DiseaseTransthoracic echocardiography revealed right ventricle (RV) and right atrium (RA) dilationtricuspid valve (TV) leaflets were thickened in appearance, and reduced mobility with severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and stenosis
heart disease (CHD). CHD refers to the cardiac complications that occur when the vasoactive substances, such as serotonin, tachykinins, and prostaglandins, secreted from the carcinoid tumors reach the right side of the heart, causing destruction of the right-sided cardiac valves. Common ...
Cardiac involvement occurs in up to 50% of patients with metastatic carcinoid tumors which commonly causes abnormalities of the right sided valves. Echocardiography is the best available and non invasive technique for diagnosis. Characteristic features of carcinoid heart disease are thickened, shortened, ...
Carcinoid heart disease is characterised by distortion and fixation of right-sided heart valves, which cause valvular regurgitation, stenosis or both. Valvular... D Hammersley,A Shamsi,MM Zaman - 《Echo Research & Practice》 被引量: 0发表: 2018年 The carcinoid syndrome: an unusual cause of val...
