Effusive–Constrictive Pericarditis

New England Journal of Medicine, 2004
Effusive-constrictive pericarditis is an uncommon pericardial syndrome characterized by concomitant tamponade, caused by tense pericardial effusion, and constriction, caused by the visceral pericardium. We conducted a prospective study of its clinical evolution and management.From 1986 through 2001, all patients with effusive-constrictive pericarditis ...

Effusive-constrictive pericarditis

Heart Failure Reviews, 2012
Effusive-constrictive pericarditis (ECP) is an increasingly recognized clinical syndrome. It has been best characterized in patients with tamponade who continue to have elevated intracardiac pressure after the removal of pericardial fluid. The disorder is due to pericardial inflammation causing constriction in conjunction with the presence of ...

Pericardiectomy for constrictive pericarditis

The Multimedia Manual of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2020
Chronic constrictive pericarditis results from inflammation and fibrosis of the pericardium. This situation eventually leads to impairment of diastolic filling and right heart failure. Once the diagnosis is made, because the disease is basically irreversible, a pericardiectomy is the mandatory treatment.

Angiocardiography in Constrictive Pericarditis

Chest, 1974
The conventional x-ray film examinations and the angiocardiographic features of 13 cases of constrictive pericarditis are analyzed and compared with those in five cases of pericardial effusion and four cases of congestive cardiomyopathy. The conventional x-ray film examination can contribute to the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis if the ...

Multimodality imaging for the diagnosis and treatment of constrictive pericarditis

Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy, 2019

Chronic constrictive pericarditis∗

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1961
1. 1. A series of forty cases of constrictive pericarditis is analyzed and the subject reviewed in the light of this experience. 2. 2. One-quarter of the cases were still in the active stage of disease. The chief differences between these patients and those with chronic inactive pericarditis are emphasized. 3. 3.

Pre- and post-pericardiocentesis echo-Doppler features of effusive-constrictive pericarditis compared with cardiac tamponade and constrictive pericarditis

European Heart Journal-Cardiovascular Imaging, 2018
AIMS To review 2D and Doppler findings in patients diagnosed with effusive-constrictive pericarditis (ECP) and compare these to patients with cardiac tamponade and patients with surgically-proven constrictive pericarditis (CP).

Effusive-Constrictive Pericarditis

Cardiology Clinics, 2017
Effusive-constrictive pericarditis (ECP) corresponds to the coexistence of a hemodynamically significant pericardial effusion and decreased pericardial compliance. The hallmark of ECP is the persistence of elevated right atrial pressure postpericardiocentesis. The prevalence of ECP seems higher in tuberculous pericarditis and lower in idiopathic cases.
