Resolution of right-sided heart failure symptoms after resection of a primary ovarian carcinoid tumor.

ABSTRACT: Carcinoid tumors are rare neuroendocrine malignancies that typically originate from the gastrointestinal tract. Patients who are diagnosed with carcinoid heart disease generally have poor prognoses because of advanced metastases during staging and few therapeutic options. We present the case of a 61-year-old woman with right-sided heart failure, secondary to carcinoid heart disease caused by a primary ovarian carcinoid tumor. After undergoing surgical resection of the left ovary and fallopian tube, the patient experienced complete resolution of her heart failure symptoms. In addition to the patient's case, we discuss the diagnosis, nature, and treatment of this rare condition.

Flood syndrome following right-sided heart failure: a case report.

Project description:Flood syndrome is a rare condition, where a patient with ascites suffers sudden umbilical hernia rupture and a subsequent drainage of ascitic fluid from the abdominal cavity. The cause of ascites is usually liver cirrhosis. Complications associated with cirrhosis of the liver make Flood syndrome difficult to manage. In these cases, conservative management has been associated with high morbidity. We describe, to our knowledge, for the first time a patient with Flood syndrome caused by right-sided heart failure. We also show that conservative treatment gives great initial outcome and is a viable option for this type of Flood syndrome.

Right sided heart failure secondary to hypereosinophilic cardiomyopathy - clinical manifestation and diagnostic pathway.

Project description:Hypereosinophilic cardiomyopathy is a rare restrictive cardiomyopathy which often presents with left-sided heart failure. We present an interesting case of a 58-year-old male patient with known hypereosinophillic syndrome who had presented with congestive cardiac failure with predominant features of right-sided volume overload. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed the diagnosis by demonstrating obliteration of the right ventricular apex and endocardial-delayed gadolinium enhancement at the mid-septal and inferior segment, at both the right ventricular and left ventricular apical region, consistent with fibrosis. He was successfully treated with intravenous diuretics to good effect. This case report demonstrates a rare clinical presentation of right ventricle involvement in hypereosinophilic cardiomyopathy and the current pathway for diagnosis with the favoured emergence of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. All patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome should be closely monitored for signs of cardiac involvement, as early treatment carries a better prognosis.

Carcinoid Crisis-Induced Acute Systolic Heart Failure.

Project description:Carcinoid crisis is a life-threatening manifestation of carcinoid syndrome characterized by profound autonomic instability in the setting of catecholamine release from stress, tumor manipulation, or anesthesia. Here, we present an unusual case of carcinoid crisis leading to acute systolic heart failure requiring mechanical circulatory support. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Rising Central venous pressure: Impending right-sided failure?

Project description:Central venous pressure generally indicates right sided cardiac filling pressure. Although it is a static hemodynamic parameter, however trend of CVP gives important information regarding the patient's management. Patient with left ventricular assist device is prone to develop right ventricular dysfunction which can easily be suspected by trend of CVP. However rising CVP does not always imply right heart dysfunction.

Balancing carcinoid crisis and right ventricular dysfunction during tricuspid and pulmonic valve replacement for carcinoid heart disease: A case report.

Project description:Introduction and importanceCarcinoid tumors are rare malignancies of neuroendocrine origin that can manifest with a constellation of systemic symptoms including right-sided cardiac involvement. Many patients with carcinoid heart disease require valve replacement, but intraoperative management of carcinoid syndrome varies within the literature.Case presentationA 72-year-old man with carcinoid syndrome underwent tricuspid and pulmonic valve replacement with multiple episodes of carcinoid crisis intraoperatively as well as right ventricular dysfunction after cardiopulmonary bypass.Clinical discussionOctreotide is the mainstay in prevention and treatment of intraoperative carcinoid crisis, but reported dosages and timing varies significantly. The use of exogenous catecholamines is also controversial as they are thought to paradoxically worsen carcinoid symptoms. Our patient was managed successfully with both an octreotide infusion and intermittent boluses, as well as exogenous catecholamines for right ventricular support during and after cardiopulmonary bypass.ConclusionThe management of carcinoid syndrome in patients undergoing valve surgery for carcinoid heart disease is dependent on timely prevention and treatment of carcinoid crisis and effective mitigation of right ventricular dysfunction.

Genomic Analysis Reveals Heterogeneity Between Lesions in Synchronous Primary Right-Sided and Left-Sided Colon Cancer.

Project description:Background: The synchronous primary right-sided and left-sided colon cancer (sRL-CC) is a peculiar subtype of colorectal cancer. However, the genomic landscape of sRL-CC remains elusive. Methods: Twenty-eight paired tumor samples and their corresponding normal mucosa samples from 14 patients were collected from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from 2011 to 2018. The clinical-pathological data were obtained, and whole-exome sequencing was performed based on formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded samples of these patients, and then, comprehensive bioinformatic analyses were conducted. Results: Both the lesions of sRL-CC presented dissimilar histological grade and differentiation. Based on sequencing data, few overlapping SNV signatures, onco-driver gene mutations, and SMGs were identified. Moreover, the paired lesions harbored a different distribution of copy number variants (CNVs) and loss of heterozygosity. The clonal architecture analysis demonstrated the polyclonal origin of sRL-CC and inter-cancerous heterogeneity between two lesions. Conclusion: Our work provides evidence that lesions of sRL-CC share few overlapping mutational signatures and CNVs, and may originate from different clones.

Right-Left Ventricular Interaction in Left-Sided Heart Failure With and Without Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support-A Simulation Study.

Project description:Left ventricular (LV) dilatation is commonly seen with LV failure and is often aggravated during venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO). In this context, the intricate interaction between left and right heart function is considered to be of pivotal importance, yet mechanistically not well understood. We hypothesize that a preserved or enhanced right heart contractility causes increased LV loading both with and without VA ECMO. A closed-loop in-silico simulation model containing the cardiac chambers, the pericardium, septal interactions, and the pulmonary and systemic vascular systems with an option to connect a simulated VA ECMO circuit was developed. Right ventricular contractility was modified during simulation of severe LV failure with and without VA ECMO. Left atrial pressures increased from 14.0 to 23.8 mm Hg without VA ECMO and from 18.4 to 27.0 mm Hg under VA ECMO support when right heart contractility was increased between end-systolic elastance 0.1 and 1.0 mm Hg/ml. Left-sided end-diastolic volumes increased from 125 to 169 ml without VA ECMO and from 150 to 180 ml with VA ECMO. Simulations demonstrate that increased diastolic loading of the LV may be driven by increased right ventricular contractility and that left atrial pressures cannot be interpreted as a reflection of the degree of LV dysfunction and overload without considering right ventricular function. Our study illustrates that modelling and computer simulation are important tools to unravel complex cardiovascular mechanisms underlying the right-left heart interdependency both with and without mechanical circulatory support.

Right heart failure before LVAD implantation predicts right heart failure after LVAD implantation - is it that easy?

Project description:BACKGROUND:Right heart failure (RHF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation is common and associated with worse outcome. Prediction of RHF remains challenging. Our study aims to assess predictors of RHF focusing on clinical manifestations. METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed clinical, echocardiographic and hemodynamic parameters of 112 patients undergoing LVAD implantation. Pre-operative, early (ERHF, day 7 and 14) and late postoperative RHF (LRHF, after 1, 3, 6 and 12 months) were assessed. RESULTS:In the total study population (87.5% men, mean age 55 years), early RHF was frequent (47% on day 7 and 30% on day 14). Prevalence of late RHF and death from RHF was high after 3, 6 and 12 months (23, 24 and 17%). Pre-existing RHF was only associated with early RHF and persistent, but not for new onset late RHF. Early RHF was associated with lower INTERMACS level (p < 0.001), higher pulmonary vascular resistance (p = 0.046) and CVP/PAWP quotient (p = 0.011), higher bilirubin (p = 0.038) and creatinine (p = 0.013). LRHF was associated with creatinine (p = 0.006), urea (p = 0.012) and load adaption index (p = 0.007). Binary logistic regression models identified no single risk factors. Comparing the predictive value of regression models with a model of three clinical findings (INTERMACS level, age and pre-operative RHF) did not reveal differences in RHF. CONCLUSIONS:RHF before LVAD implantation enhances the risk of early RHF and persistent late RHF, but not for new onset late RHF, supporting the hypothesis of differences in the etiology. Echocardiographic or hemodynamic parameters did not show a predictive value for new onset late RHF. Similar predictive value of clinical findings and statistic models of risk factors suggest that a clinical evaluation is equally matched to predict RHF.
