Carcinoid heart disease: a potentially fatal complication of carcinoid syndrome

BMJ Case Reports, 2023
Carcinoid heart disease is a unique and serious cardiac complication of the neuroendocrine tumour that affects the right side of the heart, especially the tricuspid and pulmonic valves, eventually causing right heart failure. We present a middle-aged man

Carcinoid Heart Disease: a Review

Current Oncology Reports, 2021
The development of carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a fibrotic complication of neuroendocrine neoplasms (NEN) which is associated with a poor prognosis. This review aims to summarise the clinical features, investigations and management of this condition.CHD can affect up to 50% of NET patients with carcinoid syndrome.

Carcinoid heart disease

International Journal of Cardiology, 2008
The carcinoid syndrome is usually evident when enterochromaffin (EC) cell-derived neuroendocrine tumors (carcinoids) metastasize to the liver. In addition to carcinoid symptomatology, about 40% of patients exhibit carcinoid heart disease (CHD) with fibrotic endocardial plaques and associated heart valve dysfunction. The mechanism behind CHD development

Carcinoid Heart Disease

Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, 2018
Carcinoid heart disease remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with carcinoid syndrome and metastatic neuroendocrine tumors. Screening of all patients with N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide and transthoracic echocardiography is critical for early detection, as early symptoms and signs have low sensitivity for the ...
