Lessons From a Complex Case of Calcific Constrictive Pericarditis: A Case Report. [PDF]

Case Rep Cardiol
Despite advances in imaging and diagnostics, calcific constrictive pericarditis (CCP) remains a rare and challenging entity, often masquerading as other cardiopulmonary conditions, leading to delayed diagnosis. We present a 70‐year‐old male with a history of heart failure, atrial fibrillation (AF), cirrhosis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)

Recent advances in multimodality imaging‐guided therapy in pericarditis

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, Volume 55, Issue 9, September 2025.
Multiple imaging targets have been identified as essential biomarkers to confirm pericardial thickening, edema, neovascularization, inflammation, fibrosis/calcification, cardiac tamponade physiology, and constriction. This novel approach is called imaging‐guided therapy, which guides anti‐inflammatory therapy, assesses treatment response, assists in ...
