Introduction: Patients with carcinoid heart disease (Hedinger’s syndrome, HS) have two times lower survival probability as compared to patients without cardiac involvement. The aim of this study was to investigate if the severity of the tricuspid valve insufficiency influence the efficacy of Peptide Receptor Radionuclide Therapy (PRRT) in neuroendocrine tumor patients. Methods: 42 (7.6%; mean age 59 years, F: M 19: 23) out of 550 patients with progressive neuroendocrine tumors (NET) treated at our neuroendocrine tumor center with PRRT using radiolabeled somatostatin analogs (Yttrium–90 or Lutetium–177 DOTA-TATE)…
