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
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.

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 ...

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
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
![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
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.
