Abstract
Time domain heart rate variability measurements and echocardiographic studies were performed in 35 patients with carcinoid syndrome. Carcinoid heart disease was present in 18 patients (51%). Heart rate variability parameters (standard deviation of all normal RR intervals, percentage of the number of pairs of adjacent normal RR intervals differing by >50 ms) were significantly reduced in patients with than in those without carcinoid heart disease.Entities:
