Restrictive cardiomyopathy and constrictive pericarditis: non-invasive distinction by digitised M mode echocardiography.
It is difficult to distinguish between restrictive cardiomyopathy and constrictive pericarditis on the basis of clinical findings and simple investigation. Cardiac catheterisation has been the reference standard for diagnosis but even this does not always permit an accurate distinction. A Summagraphics digitiser and Prime 750 computer system were used to digitise the echocardiograms of 15 patie...
متن کاملDifferentiation of constrictive pericarditis and restrictive cardiomyopathy by Doppler echocardiography.
Doppler ultrasound recordings of mitral, tricuspid, aortic, and pulmonary flow velocities, and their variation with respiration, were recorded in 12 patients with a restrictive cardiomyopathy and seven patients with constrictive pericarditis. Twenty healthy adults served as controls. The patients with constrictive pericarditis showed marked changes in left ventricular isovolumic relaxation time...
متن کاملConstrictive Pericarditis Versus Restrictive Cardiomyopathy?
About one-half of the patients with congestive heart failure have preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF). Although the etiology of HFpEF is most commonly related to long-standing hypertension and atherosclerosis, a significant number of suspected HFpEF patients have a restrictive cardiomyopathy or chronic pericardial disease. Recognizing these syndromes is important because early ...

متن کاملBiventricular Mechanics in Constrictive Pericarditis Comparison with Restrictive Cardiomyopathy and Impact of Pericardiectomy Kusunose: Mechanics in Constrictive Pericarditis
Background—The aim of our study was to compare myocardial mechanics of constrictive pericarditis (CP) with restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM), or healthy controls; to assess the impact of pericardial thickening detected by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) on regional myocardial mechanics in CP; and to quantitate the effect of pericardiectomy on myocardial mechanics in CP. Methods and Results—Myoc...
