Carcinoid constrictive pericarditis [PDF]

Heart, 1999
A 78 year old man presented with diarrhoea, anorexia, and progressive lower limb oedema. He was in atrial fibrillation and had a right pleural effusion and ascites. Ultrasound of the abdomen and 24 hour urinary hydroxyindoleacetic acid output indicated metastatic carcinoid syndrome.

Arrhythmias associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy—A clinical perspective

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer therapy but are associated with a growing spectrum of cardiovascular immune‐related adverse events. Among these, arrhythmias represent a rare yet potentially life‐threatening complication. ICI‐induced arrhythmias encompass a wide clinical spectrum, including atrial arrhythmias, conduction ...

Predictors of postoperative complication and prolonged intensive care unit stay after complete pericardiectomy in tuberculous constrictive pericarditis

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Background The risk factors of postoperative outcomes after pericardiectomy in tuberculous constrictive pericarditis have still been unclear. This study aimed to investigate the predictors of postoperative complication and prolonged intensive care unit ...

Chronic Constrictive Pericarditis [PDF]

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2013
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is a rare clinical entity that can pose diagnostic problems. The diagnosis of CP requires a high degree of clinical suspicion. The gold standard for diagnosis is cardiac catheterization with analysis of intracavitary pressure curves, which are high and, in end diastole, equal in all chambers.

Prevalence and Risk Factors of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in Patients With Chronic Cutaneous Lupus: A Bicentric Study Employing Three Classification Criteria

International Journal of Dermatology, EarlyView.
This bicentric study of 95 CCLE patients shows SLE prevalence (21.1%–31.6%) varies significantly by classification criteria. Arthralgia was a consistent independent risk factor across all systems. Our findings support the implementation of systematic risk‐stratified screening protocols for CCLE patients, with particular attention to joint symptoms and ...

Feasibility, Safety, and Efficacy of Pulsed Field Ablation for Ventricular Arrhythmias: Insights From a Large Health System Registry in the United States

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an emerging non‐thermal ablation modality with proven safety in atrial arrhythmia ablation. However, data on its performance for ventricular arrhythmias (VA) remain limited. Objective To evaluate the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of PFA for complex VA in a multicenter real‐world US registry ...

Chylous ascites due to constrictive pericarditis

, 2000
Chylous ascites due to constrictive pericarditis is an extremely rare clinical entity, possibly caused by the augmented lymph production and high impedance to lymph drainage due to central venous hypertension.

Quantification of echodensities in tuberculous pericardial effusion using fractal geometry: a proof of concept study

Cardiovascular Ultrasound, 2012
Background The purpose of this study was to quantify the heterogeneous distribution of echodensities in the pericardial fluid of patients with tuberculous pericarditis using echocardiography and fractal analysis, and to determine whether there were ...

Impact of Ganglionated Plexus Ablation on Early Recurrence After Thoracoscopic Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: A Post Hoc Analysis of the AFACT Study

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Adjunctive ganglionated plexus (GP) ablation did not reduce early AF recurrence after thoracoscopic AF ablation but was associated with a later first recurrence. In the GP‐ablation group, early recurrence was associated with late recurrence; this exploratory finding is compatible with, but does not establish, a greater contribution of pre‐existing ...

An unusual cause of acute constrictive pericarditis

Constrictive pericarditis, a condition where the pericardium thickens and constricts, has long been considered as a chronic sequela of prior insults to the pericardium such as heart surgery, repeated pericarditis, tuberculosis infection, radiation ...
