#1921 Prognostic Factors That Mandate Long Term Follow Up Following Surgery for Appendiceal Neuroendocrine Tumours (aNETs)

Introduction: Appendiceal neuroendocrine tumours (aNETs) are usually diagnosed incidentally at appendicectomy and rarely recur. Current ENET guidelines inform their management and highlight areas of uncertainty.

#104 Myocardial motion abnormalities in patients with carcinoid disease without overt carcinoid heart disease

Introduction: Cardiac abnormalities occur in 15-70% of patients with carcinoid disease, typified by fibrosis of the right-sided valves. Myocardial motion abnormalities in subjects without overt carcinoid heart disease have not been previously described. Tissue Doppler Imaging (TDI) allows quantative analysis of myocardial motion. We used this technique to investigate whether myocardial motion is reduced, suggesting fibrosis, in patients with carcinoid disease.
