Carcinoid Heart Disease: Classical Echocardiographic Features
Journal Title: Heart Research – Open Journal - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
Carcinoid Heart Disease (CHD) is an important and rare cause of acquired valvular heart disease. Clinical examination supplemented with Echocardiographic evaluation may give the first clue towards an under lying carcinoid tumor. We report a case with classical Echocardiographic features of carcinoid heart disease.
