Abstract
We describe a patient with carcinoid heart disease secondary to a primary ovarian carcinoid tumor who initially presented with unexplained right-sided heart failure. The patient did not exhibit any of the typical clinical manifestations of the carcinoid syndrome. Echocardiography demonstrated typical features of carcinoid heart disease and played an important role in the detection and management of a condition that was previously unrecognized.
