Hemodynamics of Pericardial Constriction: Role of Echocardiography and Cardiac Catheterization [PDF]
Methodist DeBakey Cardiovascular JournalConstrictive pericarditis is a condition of diastolic heart failure with unique hemodynamic manifestations. While potentially curable if treated appropriately, constrictive pericarditis remains a diagnostic challenge, particularly during early ...

Tuberculous constrictive pericarditis [PDF]
Research in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2015 Constrictive pericarditis is characterized by constriction of the heart secondary to pericardial inflammation. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is useful imaging modality for addressing the challenges of confirming this diagnosis. It can be used to exclude other causes of right heart failure, such as pulmonary hypertension or myocardial ...

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.

A Review of the Surgical Treatment for Constrictive Pericarditis [PDF]
ARYA Atherosclerosis, 2023 Chronic constrictive pericarditis results in the signs and symptoms of heart failure due to the chronic compression of the myocardium. When the pericardium becomes thickened and fibrosed, surgery is the sole curative management strategy. Surgery leads to
