Multimodality imaging in the diagnostic approach to a patient with carcinoid heart disease involving four heart valves

Abstract

Abstract Carcinoid heart disease is a rare condition that occurs in less than half of patients with carcinoid syndrome. The disease mainly affects right‐sided heart valves; however, in 5%–10%, it can also involve left‐sided valves. This case illustrates the most complicated form of the disease involving four heart valves.
