title: [Demonstration by Doppler echocardiography of multiple valvular involvement in carcinoid cardiopathy].
abstract: We report a case of carcinoid heart disease which was remarkable on three scores: --the value of echocardiography which enabled us to diagnose the disease; --the usefulness of cardiac doppler examination which provided non-invasive haemodynamic evaluation of lesions of the four valves; --the presence of moderate involvement of the right heart, which is classical from the point of view of anatomopathology but is often missed clinically and was ascertained in that case by doppler-echocardiography.
