title: [Carcinoid and its cardiac manifestation].
abstract: A case report concerning patient diagnosed with a rare carcinoid showing typical symptoms is presented. Although essentially a cancer disease, this condition usually shows slow progression and tends to follow a favorable course with good prognosis if treated properly, assuming patients reasonable compliance. We intend to highlight its typical clinical picture as well as the rarely occurring cardial manifestation leading to rapid progression and ultimately fatal outcome in a non-compliant patient who preferred alternative to evidence based medicine.
