Article Synopsis
- Carcinoid tumors are rare, slow-growing tumors with relatively good survival rates in their primary form, but metastatic carcinoid tumors lead to complications that increase morbidity and mortality.
- Cardiovascular manifestations are the most common cause of death in patients with metastatic carcinoid tumors, primarily due to biologically active substances produced by the tumor that affect heart function.
- The review aims to explore the spectrum of carcinoid heart diseases and their molecular biology to enhance understanding, develop targeted therapies, and improve early diagnosis, potentially reducing health risks associated with the disease.
