[Carcinoid of the small intestines with right cardiac involvement. Clinical, phonomechanographical hemodynamic and anatomical study]. 1976

M Rauscher, and C Brandt, and J L Fincker, and M Pinget, and A Warter, and A Batzenschlager

The authors report a case of carcinoid of the small intestine with liver metastases in whom the entire right side of the heart was affected, with severe tricuspid incompetence and pulmonary stenosis. The extent of the fibrosis, which affected all three layers of the heart on the right side has lead the authors to reconsider the various factors which cause the heart failure in carcinoid syndrome. This must now be included in the wider category of APUD. The severity of the tricuspid lesions compared with the derangement of the valvular and subvalvular structures makes an argument in favour of surgical correction.

D002276 Carcinoid Tumor A usually small, slow-growing neoplasm composed of islands of rounded, oxyphilic, or spindle-shaped cells of medium size, with moderately small vesicular nuclei, and covered by intact mucosa with a yellow cut surface. The tumor can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract (and in the lungs and other sites); approximately 90% arise in the appendix. It is now established that these tumors are of neuroendocrine origin and derive from a primitive stem cell.

D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
