Can anyone explain how the symptoms of carcionid symdrome comes about?
Bronchospasm, flushing, diarrhea, right heart valvular failure.
I understand the diarrhea part as 5HT increases the gut motility.
I was under the impression that 5HT causes arteriolar constriction and vasospasms.
I am unsure how arteriolar constriction can cause flushing, shouldn't it actually cause the opposite?
Thanks in advance!
