Carcinoid heart disease: a rare cause of right ventricular dysfunction RAV. Pruijsten, A. Lorsheyd, J.H. Kirkels, M.J.M. Cramer
N.
A70-year-old man with a ten-year history of ileal carcinoid disease, including mesenterial and liver metastases, was referred to our department because of dyspnoea and severe peripheral oedema. Despite ileocoecal resection, chemotherapy, laser-induced thermotherapy of liver metastases and treatment with somatostatin, the disease was progressive. The image shows an apical modified four chamber view of the right ventricular wall demonstrating diffuse plaque-like thickening. The continuation of this article and moving images illustrating this condition are shown on the joumal's website at: www.cardiologie.nl

A50-year-old male patient with a history of transient ischaemic attacks was referred to the cardiology department to exclude the presence of a cardiac source of the emboli. The patient had no cardiac history, and reported no symptoms of angina or palpitations. His exercise tolerance was normal. The image shows a 64-slice CT coronary angiography with a three-dimensional reconstruction of the heart providing an overview of the general coronary anatomy.
