The immunopathogenesis of tuberculous pericarditis

Microbes and Infection, 2020
Tuberculous pericarditis is a severe form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis and is the commonest cause of pericardial effusion in high incidence settings. Mortality ranges between 8 and 34%, and it is the leading cause of pericardial constriction in Africa and Asia.

Calcific pericarditis strangling the heart, an answer to unexplained heart failurediagnostic modalities

Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association
Pericardial calcification is often found incidentally from imaging studies and may be a clue to constrictive pericarditis. Constrictive pericarditis often mimics other causes of heart failure, pulmonary, or liver disease, making it hard to diagnose ...

Pericardial Metaplastic Ossification With Widespread Bone Formation: A Case Report

Case Reports in Pathology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Pericardial disease can present clinically as acute pericarditis, pericardial effusion, cardiac tamponade, and constrictive pericarditis (CP). Pericardial calcification is present in less than 25% of all cases of CP, and patients with this finding are at risk for developing additional cardiac complications.

Navigating Diagnostic Dilemmas in Cardiology: A Rare Case Report of Tuberculosis Presenting as a Cardiac Abscess

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Cardiac tuberculosis (TB) is a rare but important extrapulmonary form of TB that often presents diagnostic challenges due to nonspecific symptoms and its ability to mimic other cardiac conditions. We report the case of a 45‐year‐old woman with end‐stage renal disease secondary to granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) who presented with fever ...

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 ...
