Recent advances in multimodality imaging-guided therapy in pericarditis. [PDF]

Eur J Clin Invest
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 ...

Chronic Constrictive Pericarditis in a low-income-setting: Challenges and Outcome of Surgery

Ibom Medical Journal, 2022
Background: In a low-income setting like ours, chronic constrictive pericarditis is not uncommon. Affected patients present late for surgical management owing to poverty and ignorance. These two factors adversely affect the outcome of surgery. Objective:

Refractory constrictive pericarditis caused by an immune checkpoint inhibitor properly managed with infliximab: a case report

European Heart Journal: Case Reports, 2021
Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) can cause cardiac immune-related adverse events (irAEs), including pericarditis. Cardiovascular events related to pericardial irAE are less frequent, but fulminant forms can be fatal.

Constrictive Pericarditis

New England Journal of Medicine, 2023
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is a challenging clinical scenario in which the heart muscle is entrapped by thick, fibrous, and frequently calcified pericardial layers. Whereas infectious diseases (mostly bacterial) had been observed as the main etiology in the last decades, nowadays, post-surgical or radiotherapy iatrogenic inflammation is becoming ...

A case report of constrictive pericarditis: a forgotten cause of refractory ascites

Radiology Case Reports, 2020
Constrictive pericarditis is well known but rare and commonly forgotten cause of ascites. Early diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis is difficult due to absence of typical cardiopulmonary signs and multiple vague symptoms and its insidious course.
