Invited commentary: Outcomes of pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis following mediastinal irradiation

open access: yesJournal of cardiac surgery, 2021
Constrictive pericarditis is an uncommon albeit highly morbid disease characterized by right heart failure subsequent to the loss of pericardial compliance. There are multiple etiologies of constrictive pericarditis.

Idiopathic Constrictive Pericarditis and Eggshell Calcification of the Heart

open access: yesJACC: Case Reports, 2020
Extensive pericardial calcification is rare in patients with chronic constrictive pericarditis (CCP). We report the case of a young man who had CCP with “eggshell” calcification of the pericardium and the classic features of CCP on echocardiography and ...

EuroSCORE II: Current limitations and physiological gaps in risk stratification

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Risk stratification remains critical in cardiac surgery, enabling clinicians to predict adverse outcomes and guide perioperative management. The European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (EuroSCORE) II, introduced in 2011, incorporates 18 key variables to provide an evidence‐based approach to risk assessment.

Constrictive pericarditis: 21 years´ experience and review of literature

open access: yesThe Pan African Medical Journal, 2021
To the best of our knowledge there are no publications about Tunisian experience in constrictive pericarditis (CP); the aim of this study was therefore to review our twenty one years’ experience in terms of clinical and surgical outcomes and risk factors

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

open access: yes, 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 ...
