59 In conclusion Ultrasound detectable cardiac abnormalities are common among patients with malignant mid-gut carcinoid tumors. The microscopical, macroscopical and echocardiographical abnormalities are characteristic and pathognomonic. Reconstructive valvular surgery is of obvious benificial value in patients with cardiac decompensation due to severe carcinoid heart disease. The extent of the cardiac disease seems to be related to circulating tumour-released substances. TGF-b seems to be involved in the local fibrous tissue production.
