Overview

Trans-thoracic echocardiography findings include thickening and retraction of immobile tricuspid valve leaflets with associated tricuspid regurgitation and immobility of the pulmonary valve cusps. Trans-esophageal echocardiography findings provide incremental assessment of the degree of cardiac valve involvement and the atrial septal anatomy in patients with carcinoid heart disease.

Echocardiography

Transthoracic echocardiography

  1. Thickening and retraction of immobile tricuspid valve leaflets with associated tricuspid regurgitation, which is severe at the time of identification in 90 percent of patients.
  2. Immobility of the pulmonary valve cusps.

Transesophageal echocardiography

Cardiac magnetic resonance
