The Center’s patient focus is two-fold: first, on issues related to carcinoid syndrome and its resultant carcinoid heart disease. Second, based on the belief that a healthy heart is important when living with neuroendocrine cancer and all its manifestations and complications, the Carcinoid Heart Center focuses on all the important cardiovascular risk factors, including hypertension, diabetes, lipid disorders, obesity, smoking behavior, homocysteine, cardio-selective C-reactive protein, dietary factors and life-style/exercise habits. Dr. Zacks is also Associate Clinical Professor of Medicine, Cardiology, at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City.
