#3475 Serum Activin A is not associated with carcinoid heart disease (CHD) in patients with neuroendocrine tumors (NET)

Introduction: CHD is a fibrotic cardiac disorder that is caused by serotonin secreted by NET, especially in the presence of liver metastases. Currently, N terminal pro B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is used to detect cardiac damage due to CHD, yet no predictive biomarkers are available. Activin A has been identified as a potential biomarker for CHD.
