#2260 Carcinoid Heart Failure in a Metastatic Duodenal Neuroendocrine Tumor: A Challenging Case Report.

Introduction: Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a potenzial fatal cardiac manifestation, characterized by fibrous endocardial thickening involving right-sided heart valves. In 70% of cases, CHD occurs in advanced small bowel NETs with carcinoid syndrome (CS). Serotonin seems to play a main role. Early recognition and surgical intervention may improve the outcome of patients.
