Nineteen patients with proven carcinoid heart disease (by cardiac catheterization and\/or echocardiogram) were compared with the remaining 585 noncardiac patients in the database with regard to circulating serotonin and its principal metabolite, 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA). No significant demographic differences existed between the cardiac and noncardiac groups; however, typical carcinoid syndrome symptoms (ie, flushing and diarrhea) were almost threefold more common in the cardiac group (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.001). Compared with the noncardiac group, heart disease patients demonstrated strikingly higher (\n            <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n            &lt;.0001) mean serum serotonin (9750 versus 4350 pmol\/mL), plasma serotonin (1130 versus 426 pmol\/mL), platelet serotonin (6240 versus 2700 pmol\/mg protein), and urine 5-HIAA (219 versus 55.3 mg\/24 h) levels. The spectrum of heart disease among the 19 patients showed a strong right-sided valvular predominance, with tricuspid regurgitation being the most common valvular dysfunction (92% by cardiac catheterization; 100% by echocardiogram).\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>\n            <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>\n            These data suggest that serotonin plays a major role in the pathogenesis of the cardiac plaque formation observed in carcinoid patients.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1161\/01.cir.92.4.790","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,6,12]],"date-time":"2012-06-12T00:34:42Z","timestamp":1339461282000},"page":"790-795","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1161\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":266,"title":["Carcinoid Heart Disease"],"prefix":"10.1161","volume":"92","author":[{"given":"Paul A.","family":"Robiolio","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Divisions of Cardiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, and the Division of Internal Medicine, Durham (NC) VA Medical Center."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vera H.","family":"Rigolin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Divisions of Cardiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, and the Division of Internal Medicine, Durham (NC) VA Medical Center."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John S.","family":"Wilson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"From the Divisions of Cardiology, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC, and the Division of Internal Medicine, Durham (NC) VA Medical Center."}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"J.
