N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) as a noninvasive marker for restrictive syndromes [PDF]

, 2008
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) and restrictive cardiomyopathy share many similarities in both their clinical and hemodynamic characteristics and N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a sensitive marker of cardiac diastolic ...

Inflammation and genetics in myo‐pericardial diseases: Insights from the Italian Study Group on Cardiomyopathies and Pericardial Diseases

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Proposed management of myo‐pericardial diseases. A systematic interdisciplinary approach to myo‐pericardial disease is essential to reach a correct diagnosis, starting from multiparametric characterization including EKG, echocardiography with GLS, laboratory exams and CMR or, in case of electric or haemodynamic instability, EMB.

Pericarditis Constrictiva in a 10-Year-Old Boy After Influenza A Virus Infection [PDF]

, 2018
Pericarditis constrictiva is caused by fibrotic degeneration of the pericardium and leads to impaired diastolic ventricular filling. The diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis in children remains challenging and often requires a multimodal approach.

Diagnosis of Constrictive Pericarditis [PDF]

Circulation, 1999
To The Editor: The interesting case featured in “Images in Cardiovascular Medicine” in the March 3, 1998, issue of Circulation 1 illustrates how elusive the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis can be and demonstrates how important it is to perform a comprehensive 2-dimensional/Doppler echocardiographic examination on all patients referred to the ...

Re‐PERFUSE: Phase 1b study of AZD3427, a novel relaxin receptor agonist, on renal perfusion in HFrEF patients

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims Renal impairment frequently coexists with heart failure (HF) and is associated with increased risk of poor clinical outcomes. This highlights the urgent need for therapies targeting both cardiac and renal dysfunction. AZD3427, a long‐acting recombinant fusion protein and relaxin analogue that selectively activates the relaxin family ...

A clinical case of tuberculosis with transient constrictive pericarditis and perimyocarditis

Echo Research and Practice, 2019
Tuberculous pericarditis is a rare diagnosis seen among as few as 1% of tuberculosis (TB) patients in developed countries. We present a case of a 60-year-old male suffering from a transient constrictive pericarditis and subclinical involvement of the ...

Impact of epicardial adipose tissue on myocardial function and structure in patients with severe aortic valve stenosis

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) has been linked to adverse remodelling and outcomes in aortic valve stenosis (AS), yet mechanisms remain unclear. In 137 patients with severe AS undergoing CMR before TAVR, higher EAT (≥46.5 ml/m2) was associated with impaired left atrial (LA) reservoir strain, while ventricular morphology, function and tissue ...

Long‐term prognosis of pure and impure tachycardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and aims Tachycardia‐induced cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a reversible form of heart failure (HF) driven by arrhythmias, often atrial fibrillation (AF). While reversible, TCM's long‐term prognosis remains unclear, especially in comparison to HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).
