Definition
English
:
Cardiac manifestation of gastrointestinal
CARCINOID TUMOR
that metastasizes to the
liver
. Substances secreted by the tumor
cells
, including
SEROTONIN
, promote fibrous plaque formation in
ENDOCARDIUM
and its underlying layers. These deposits cause distortion of the
TRICUSPID VALVE
and the
PULMONARY VALVE
eventually leading to STENOSIS and valve regurgitation.
