    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Context:

    • Carcinoid tumors can metastasize to the liver, leading to carcinoid syndrome.
    • Carcinoid cardiopathy is a known complication, affecting heart valves.

    Purpose:

    • To present a series of patients with carcinoid cardiopathy and liver metastasis.
    • To describe the clinical, instrumental, and electrocardiographic findings.
    • To document the disease progression and outcomes.

    Summary:

    • Seven patients (5 males, 2 females) aged 23-73 with carcinoid cardiopathy and liver metastasis were studied.
    • Clinical signs included dyspnea, asthenia, and congestive cardiac decompensation.
    • Echocardiography confirmed tricuspid valve involvement, with some cases showing pulmonary stenosis and right bundle branch block on ECG.

  • All patients experienced disease progression, with four succumbing to terminal liver failure.

    • Impact:

    • This case series underscores the severe prognosis of carcinoid cardiopathy with liver metastasis.
    • Highlights the importance of early diagnosis and management of cardiac complications in carcinoid syndrome.
    • Emphasizes the role of echocardiography and ECG in assessing cardiac involvement.
