Rare images of tuberculous pericarditis causing constrictive pericarditis.
A 30-year old woman presented with complaints of chest pain, palpitation and echocardiographic findings of a constrictive cardiac haemodynamic pattern with calcification and thickening of the pericardium (Fig. 1). She underwent successful pericardiectomy. An intraoperative image of a typical caseification necrosis surrounding the whole pericardium, with a positive culture of mycobacterium tuber...
متن کاملRare Concurrence of Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Effusive Constrictive Pericarditis
A 78-year-old man with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis was referred for preoperative evaluation of cardiac function. Echocardiography and cardiac cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a thickened visceral pericardium, and a large pericardial effusion. Cardiac late gadolinium-enhanced MRI revealed pericardial inflammation or fibrosis. Apica...
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...
متن کاملConstrictive pericarditis
Constrictive pericarditis — Constrictive pericarditis is the result of scarring and consequent loss of the normal elasticity of the pericardial sac. Pericardial constriction is typically chronic, but variants include subacute, transient, and occult constriction. Pathologically, this results in chronic inflammation and, frequently, calcification. Grossly, the pericardium is considerably thicker ...
