Abstract:
In this case, carcinoid pericarditis with effusion was one of the dominant clinical features. Carcinoid syndrome is considered briefly. The ways in which carcinoid heart disease can manifest itself are reviewed. Finally, it is proposed that carcinoid pericarditis be added to the spectrum of carcinoid heart disease.
