  • Ehokardiografska diagnostika karcinoidne srčne bolezni = Echocardiographic diagnostics of carcinoid heart disease
    Ravnik, Janez, 1929- ...
    Background. Carcinoid heart disease is a rare heart disease which affects endocard and heart valves on the right side of heart. It affects only patientswith manifested carcinoid syndrome, which is ... thought to be the consequence of secret or active metastases of carcinoid tumour The carcinoid endocardial plaques cause structural changes of tricuspid and pulmonic valve and later on thei rstenosis and/or insufficiency. Patients and methods. In this article we introduce a carcinoid valve heart disease (CVHD) scoring system for easier end exact ehocardiographic diagnostics. Four echocardiographic parameters are beeing estimated: structural changes of tricuspid valve, tricuspid valve regurgitation, stenosis of pulmonic valve andpulmonic valve regurgitation. Conclusions. The scoring system allows us to make an early diagnosis and evaluation of progression of carcinoid heart disease, which is very important for planning the treatment process. Our experiences confirm the usefulness of this scoring system in echocardiographicfollow-up of patients with carcinoid syndrome.
