Pericardial constriction: uncommon patterns.
C onstrictive pericarditis can be defined as a syndrome (or syndromes) resulting from compression of the heart caused by rigid, thickened, and frequently fused pericardial membranes. This syndrome was known about more than three centuries ago, but more recently its clinical spectrum has changed in two ways. Firstly, from the aetiologic point of view, there has been an increase in the number of ...
متن کاملCalcific visceral pericardial constriction.
1 of 3 DESCRIPTION A middle-aged hypertensive lady was admitted with progressive weight gain and generalised edema of 1-year duration. Examination revealed a raised jugular venous pressure, anasarca, atrial fi brillation and no signifi cant murmurs. Evaluation revealed mild anaemia with raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate. Chest radiograph and echocardiography revealed cardiomegaly, biatrial ...

A patient with idiopathic pericardial effusion is reported. Patient developed transient constrictive hemodynamics which recovered with continued empirical use of antitubercular drugs and prednisolone.
متن کاملSigns of pericardial constriction in rupture of ventricular septum complicating myocardial infarction.
Two patients with rupture of the ventricular septum following myocardial infarction are described. In addition to the usual clinical features, both patients had signs of pericardial constriction, including raised venous pressure with a dominant systolic descent and absence of the third heart sound. There was also equilibration of right and left ventricular diastolic pressures at cardiac cathete...
متن کاملExpansion of a highly sensitive and specific ELISA test for diagnosis of hydatidosis using recombinant EgB8/2 protein
Objective(s): Hydatidosis is a zoonotic infection and endemic in Iran. Due to the serological cross-reactivity (of sera) with other parasitic infection, diagnosis of hydatid cyst is considered to be problematic. In this regard, application of recombinant antigens improves serological diagnosis for human hydatidosis. Here, we present an ELISA test based on B8/2 recombinant antigen of Echinococcu...
