THE OTHER WAY AROUND: FROM PULMONARY HYPERTENSION TO CARCINOID HEART DISEASE
Anno:
2025
Introduction Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a rare cause of right heart failure due to tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and pulmonary stenosis secondary to valve leaflets fibrosis. Primary ovarian neuroendocrine tumors are a lesser-known cause of CHD which can develop early since the ovarian veins drain into the inferior vena…
