متن کاملDiagnosis and treatment of constrictive pericarditis.
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) represents the final stages in the progression of an inflammatory process resulting from a wide range of possible pathologies affecting the pericardium (e.g., idiopathic, postsurgical/trauma, infectious, autoimmune disorders, irradiation, uremia, neoplastic, sarcoid, methysergide therapy). The end result is that the heart’s diastolic function (i.e. lusitropism) is...
متن کاملConstrictive Pericarditis: A Challenging Diagnosis in Paediatrics
Constrictive pericarditis is an uncommon disease in children, usually difficult to diagnose. We present the case of a 14-year-old boy with a previous history of tuberculosis and right heart failure, in whom constrictive pericarditis was diagnosed. The case highlights the need to integrate all information, including clinical data, noninvasive cardiac imaging, and even invasive hemodynamic evalua...
متن کاملConstrictive pericarditis.
A study has been made of 62 patients with constrictive pericarditis. There was considerable variation from the classical description of the disease. It is hoped that the findings may be of use, because both diagnosis and treatment can sometimes cause perplexity. The atiology and mode of onset of constrictive pericarditis will be considered first, since ,these have important effects on the final...
متن کاملConstrictive Pericarditis
T HE essential pathology of constrictive pericarditis is the partial replacement of the epicardium and superficial myocardial layers by inelastic fibrous tissue. This interferes with diastolic filling of the ventricles and is recorded during right ventricular catheterization as a high end-diastolic plateau. In addition, the encasing and infiltrating lesion interferes with contractility and ther...
