Abstract: Carcinoid heart disease occurs in approximately 50% of patients with carcinoid syndrome. Right heart involvement resulting in tricuspid regurgitation, tricuspid stenosis, pulmonic regurgitation and pulmonic stenosis is most common. We report a case of tricuspid heart disease resulting in tricuspid regurgitation, tricuspid stenosis, pulmonic regurgitation and pulmonic stenosis.
