Multimodality Imaging in Approach to A Patient with Carcinoid Heart
Disease Involving Four Heart Valves
Abstract
Carcinoid heart disease is a rare condition that occurs in half of
patients with carcinoid syndrome. The disease mostly affects right-sided
heart valves; however, in 5-10%, it can also involve left-sided valves.
This case illustrates the most complicated form of the disease with
involvement of four heart valves.
