Effusive-constrictive pericarditis
Heart Failure Reviews, 2012Effusive-constrictive pericarditis (ECP) is an increasingly recognized clinical syndrome. It has been best characterized in patients with tamponade who continue to have elevated intracardiac pressure after the removal of pericardial fluid. The disorder is due to pericardial inflammation causing constriction in conjunction with the presence of ...

Effusive-Constrictive Pericarditis
Cardiology Clinics, 2017Effusive-constrictive pericarditis (ECP) corresponds to the coexistence of a hemodynamically significant pericardial effusion and decreased pericardial compliance. The hallmark of ECP is the persistence of elevated right atrial pressure postpericardiocentesis. The prevalence of ECP seems higher in tuberculous pericarditis and lower in idiopathic cases.

Journal of Osteopathic Medicine, 2018 Constrictive pericarditis is the end result of subacute and chronic inflammation of the pericardium, with subsequent haemodynamic effects due to the mechanical constriction that impedes chamber filling.

Risk of Constrictive Pericarditis After Acute Pericarditis [PDF]
Circulation, 2011 Background-Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is considered a rare, dreaded possible complication of acute pericarditis. Nevertheless, there is a lack of prospective studies that have evaluated the specific risk according to different etiologies.

Constrictive pericarditis is a potentially treatable cause of diastolic heart failure that arises because a diseased, inelastic pericardium restricts ventricular diastolic expansion. Affected patients present with heart failure with predominant right-sided symptoms and signs.

Constrictive pericarditis is a complex disorder characterized by abnormal thickening of the pericardium that leads to pathologic changes in cardiac hemodynamic data. The disorder can be suspected by history and physical findings. Data from echocardiography, CT, and MRI offer diagnostic information.

Pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis
The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2020Chronic constrictive pericarditis results from inflammation and fibrosis of the pericardium. This situation eventually leads to impairment of diastolic filling and right heart failure. Once the diagnosis is made, because the disease is basically irreversible, a pericardiectomy is the mandatory treatment.

A patient with constrictive pericarditis following an open-heart operation without sepsis is discussed. In the absence of sepsis, it has been widely held that this complication does not develop following an open-heart procedure. The fatal outcome in this patient could have been avoided had such an association been known.

Effusive–Constrictive Pericarditis
New England Journal of Medicine, 2004Effusive-constrictive pericarditis is an uncommon pericardial syndrome characterized by concomitant tamponade, caused by tense pericardial effusion, and constriction, caused by the visceral pericardium. We conducted a prospective study of its clinical evolution and management.From 1986 through 2001, all patients with effusive-constrictive pericarditis ...
