Valvular Disorders in Carcinoid Heart Disease
Carcinoid heart disease is a rare but important cause of intrinsic right heart valve disorders leading to right heart failure. Occasionally, left-sided heart valves may also be involved. The characteristic cardiac pathological findings of carcinoid heart disease are endocardial thickening as a result of fibrous deposits on the endocardium. Echocardiographic examination and right heart catheteri...
متن کاملEarly and late results of valvular surgery for carcinoid heart disease.
v p N a p m w o the Editor: Carcinoid tumors are rare, arising in 3 to 4 per 100,000 eople per year (1). These tumors derive from enterochromaffin cells, articularly those located in the gastrointestinal tract and the bronhopulmonary system. At diagnosis, 20% to 30% of patients present ith disseminated disease and consequent carcinoid syndrome, charcterized by cutaneous flushing, gastrointestin...
متن کاملNon-cardiac Surgery in Valvular Heart Disease
BackgroundValvular heart disease is one of the common complications of acute rheumatic fever, which manifests its clinical complications one or two decades after the primary attack of the disease in adults. The disease may involve one or more valves as stenosis or regurgitation or both and may cause congestive heart failure due to chronic volume or pressure overload. MethodThis prospective stud...
متن کاملCardiac surgery for carcinoid heart disease.
Carcinoid is a rare tumor originating from neuroendocrine cells, which are generally localized in the gastrointestinal tract. It has an annual incidence of 1.5 persons per 100 000. Usually, only carcinoid tumors that invade the liver result in pathological changes to the heart. The cardiac manifestations are caused by paraneoplastic effects of vasoactive substances such as serotonin, bradykinin...
متن کاملSkin perfusion pressure as an indicator of tissue perfusion in valvular heart surgery: Preliminary results from a prospective, observational study
Hemodynamic management aims to provide adequate tissue perfusion, which is often altered during cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We evaluated whether skin perfusion pressure (SPP) can be used for monitoring of adequacy of tissue perfusion in patients undergoing valvular heart surgery. Seventy-two patients undergoing valve replacement were enrolled. SPP and serum lactate level ...
