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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesCase 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.

Causal Association Between Plasma Proteins and Pericarditis: A Mendelian Randomization Study With Therapeutic Target Identification

open access: yesMediators of Inflammation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Background Observational studies demonstrate that pro‐inflammatory cytokines play a critical role in pericarditis. However, the causal association between circulating plasma proteins and pericarditis remains unestablished. Objective This research aimed to assess the causal association between plasma proteins and pericarditis and to investigate ...

Quantification of echodensities in tuberculous pericardial effusion using fractal geometry: a proof of concept study

open access: yesCardiovascular Ultrasound, 2012
Background The purpose of this study was to quantify the heterogeneous distribution of echodensities in the pericardial fluid of patients with tuberculous pericarditis using echocardiography and fractal analysis, and to determine whether there were ...

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

open access: yesClinical 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

open access: yesEuropean 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 ...

Cystic Tuberculous Pericarditis

open access: yesJournal of the American College of Cardiology, 2013
![Figure][1] A 64-year-old man with no other medical history underwent a pericardiotomy for pericardial effusion with tamponade. The pericardium showed chronic inflammation but no malignancy; the effusion cytology was unremarkable. The only abnormal finding was a cancer antigen 125 (CA-125)

Tuberculosis: An Update for the Clinician

open access: yesRespirology, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 196-205, March 2025.
ABSTRACT Tuberculosis (TB) remains a significant global health threat with high mortality and efforts to meet WHO End TB Strategy milestones are off‐track. It has become clear that TB is not a dichotomous infection with latent and active forms but presents along a disease spectrum.
