Abstract
Patients with neuroendocrine malignancy with liver metastases are at risk for carcinoid heart disease which, if left unchecked, can lead to heart failure. This case study demonstrates a clinical situation in which an advanced practitioner performed a thorough workup consisting of lab work and imaging studies, including echocardiogram, cardiac MRI, and dotatate PET/CT, as well as outside record review and comprehensive physical exam. Early detection, intervention, and control of disease are paramount to prevent potentially life-limiting carcinoid heart disease.
