The role of N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide, chromogranin A, and 5‐hydroxyindoleacetic acid in screening for carcinoid heart disease

Journal of neuroendocrinology, 2023
Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a serious complication for patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), and early detection is crucial. We aimed to investigate N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP), chromogranin A (CgA), and plasma 5 ...

Carcinoid Heart Disease: A Rare Cause of Right Ventricular Dysfunction Evaluation by Transthoracic 2D, Doppler and 3-D Echocardiography [PDF]

, 2011
Carcinoid heart disease is a rare cause of heart failure with or without right valvular heart impairments. In this study, we showed a case of carcinoid tumour with hepatic metastases inducing carcinoid heart disease.

Patent foramen ovale in carcinoid heart disease: The potential role for and risks of percutaneous closure prior to cardiothoracic surgery

Journal of neuroendocrinology, 2023
Neuroendocrine tumours (NETs) are rare but once metastasised, can lead to the release of vasoactive substances into the systemic circulation, and the classical features of carcinoid syndrome (CS) such as flushing and diarrhoea.

Biochemical factors in the blood serum of neuroendocrine tumor patients with carcinoid syndrome

Успехи молекулярной онкологии, 2022
Introduction. Carcinoid syndrome is the most common functional syndrome in patients with neuroendocrine tumors. More than 40 biochemical factors are responsible for the manifestation of carcinoid syndrome, among which serotonin is the most important. The

Carcinoid Heart Disease in Patients With Bronchopulmonary Carcinoid [PDF]

Journal of Thoracic Oncology, 2018
The prevalence of carcinoid heart disease (CaHD) in bronchopulmonary carcinoid and its relationship with left-sided valvular disease are unknown.All patients with a pathologic diagnosis of bronchopulmonary carcinoid and echocardiography performed at our institution between 2001 and 2016 were retrospectively reviewed.
