RESUMEN
Resumen Los tumores carcinoides son neoplasias pertenecientes a la familia de tumores neuroendocrinos y presentan baja incidencia en la población en general; sin embargo, hasta el 50 % pueden debutar con compromiso cardiovascular. Se presenta el caso de un paciente, sin antecedentes cardiovasculares quien presentó signos y síntomas sugestivos de falla cardiaca derecha. Se le realizó ecocardiografía transtorácica que evidenció compromiso de ambas válvulas cardíacas derechas por tumor neuroendocrino metastásico, llevando al diagnóstico de sindrome carcinoide. Con el fin de tener presente dicha entidad en la práctica diaria de la cardiología clínica se revisan datos claves de abordaje diagnóstico y terapéutico.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Carcinoid tumors are neoplasms belonging to the neuroendocrine tumor family and have a low incidence in the general population; however, up to 50% may debut with cardiovascular involvement. We present the case of a patient, without a cardiovascular history, who presented signs and symptoms suggestive of right-sided heart failure. A transthoracic echocardiography was performed, which evidenced the involvement of both right heart valves by a metastatic neuroendocrine tumor, leading to the diagnosis of carcinoid syndrome. In order to take this entity into account in the daily practice of clinical cardiology, key data of diagnostic and therapeutic approach are reviewed.
