Medicine
Carcinoid heart disease is a heterogeneous disease with a wide spectrum of echocardiographic findings and a multimodality approach is needed in patients with this complex pathology.

A case of malignant carcinoid syndrome with associated carcinoid heart disease in a 63-year-old female and the diagnosis of her dual regurgitant and stenotic valvular disease is detailed, with accompanying two- and three-dimensional echocardiographic images demonstrating the patient’s complex tricuspid dysfunction.

Medicine
The high negative predictive value of NT-proBNP may allow its use as a screening test for carcinoid heart disease and 3D echocardiography allows more detailed assessment of valvulopathy than 2D techniques.

It is concluded that two-dimensional echocardiography can detect the characteristic cardiac abnormalities in the carcinoid syndrome and may be a useful tool for following their progression.

Medicine
Right heart disease seems to be present more often than previously reported in patients with malignant midgut carcinoid tumors, and the severity of cardiac involvement does not seem to be related to the duration of carcinoid disease but more to the extent of the disease, i.e., higher plasma levels of serotonin and tachykinins.

The experience suggests that curative surgery should be considered in all patients with completely resectable metastatic disease and that palliative surgery, despite the short duration of complete relief, should be considering in selected patients because it delays and may reduce the subsequent need for medical therapy.
