2024年9月27日 · Constrictive pericarditis (CP) and restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) are both causes of heart failure with normal (or near normal) systolic function and abnormal ventricular filling with similar clinical and hemodynamic features.

Constrictive pericarditis is a condition where the walls of the fluid-filled pouch around your heart, the pericardium, become too stiff or thick. That keeps your heart from beating properly and can cause severe complications over time.

2023年2月13日 · Constrictive pericarditis is a condition in which granulation tissue formation in the pericardium results in loss of pericardial elasticity leading to restriction in the ventricular filling. It is usually a chronic condition however subacute, transient and occult variants have been described.

2018年8月23日 · Constrictive pericarditis is long-term, or chronic, inflammation of the pericardium. The pericardium is the sac-like membrane that surrounds the heart. Inflammation in this part of the heart...

Differentiation of constrictive pericarditis (CP) from restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a complex and often challenging process. Because CP is a potentially curable cause of heart failure and therapeutic options for RCM are limited, distinction of these 2 conditions is critical.

In the modern era, multimodality imaging is essential in the diagnosis and management of pericardial syndromes. Echocardiography is the initial test for most pericardial syndromes, including acute pericarditis,recurrent pericarditis, and CP.

2017年3月13日 · Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is a relatively uncommon form of clinical heart failure. The true population prevalence is unknown, but amongst those with viral pericarditis it has been estimated to occur in less than 0.5% of cases. 1 However, because it is potentially reversible, the diagnosis must not be missed.

2024年4月9日 · Chronic constrictive pericarditis usually develops slowly and lasts longer than three months. Get medical care right away if you have new symptoms of chest pain. Many of the symptoms of pericarditis are like those of other heart and lung conditions.

Constrictive pericarditis is the result of scarring of the pericardium and that your pericardium is stiffer or thicker than normal, consequently with loss of the normal elasticity of the pericardial sac, leading to restriction in ventricular filling.

Restrictive pericarditis is a condition characterized by the thickening and scarring of the pericardium, which significantly impairs heart function. Unlike constrictive pericarditis, which is marked by stiffening of the pericardial membrane, restrictive pericarditis poses …
