[Abnormal tricuspid flow in carcinoid heart disease. A case report].
A case of the carcinoid syndrome with right heart involvement is reported. Echocardiography showed diffuse right ventricular disease with a pathological tricuspid valve. Doppler recordings of forward tricuspid blood flow showed changes suggesting abnormal right ventricular filling, the mechanisms of which are discussed.
