Article Synopsis
- Carcinoid heart disease (CHD) is a serious condition caused by high levels of serotonin from certain tumors, mainly affecting the right side of the heart and making it harder for patients to survive.
- This study looked at 84 patients with CHD over three time periods from 1984 to 2018 and found that survival rates have improved a lot in recent years.
- The research showed that valve replacement surgery helps patients live longer and that a blood test called NT-proBNP can help doctors understand how sick a person is with CHD.
