Abstract
Background: This European Neuroendocrine Tumor Society (ENETS) Expert Consensus document aims to provide practical guidance and standardization for echocardiography in the screening and follow-up of carcinoid heart disease (CHD) in patients with a neuroendocrine tumour (NET) and carcinoid syndrome.
Methods: NET experts within the ENETS Carcinoid Heart Disease Task Force reviewed both general reporting guidelines and specialized scoring systems for transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in CHD. Based on this review, a dedicated template report was designed by the multidisciplinary working group of cardiologists, oncologists, endocrinologists, gastroenterologists, surgeons and radiologists.
Results: We propose a Synoptic Reporting of Echocardiography in Carcinoid Heart Disease which represents an agreed peer reviewed proforma to capture information at the time of referral and enable a detailed outcome of CHD assessment. This includes a systematic and detailed list of structures to evaluate data to capture at the time of reporting of TTE.
Conclusions: Adherence to these reporting guidelines aims to promote homogeneous and detailed evaluation of CHD to secure accurate assessment and allow comparison of studies performed intra- and inter-individually. These guidelines could also facilitate CHD assessment as part of prospective clinical trials to enable standardization of the findings seen in response to therapy.
