Reversible left ventricular dysfunction simulating a myocardial infarction after pericardiectomy.
A 39 year old man with postoperative constrictive pericarditis after pericardiectomy developed major left ventricular systolic dysfunction with an anterior wall infarct pattern on ECG but no regional wall motion abnormalities by echocardiography or serum enzymatic evidence of a myocardial infarction. The left ventricular dysfunction resolved over two weeks with supportive treatment. It is postu...
متن کاملConstrictive pericarditis after myocardial infarction.
Constrictive pericarditis developed in a 55 year old man two years after transmural myocardial infarction complicated by severe acute pericarditis. Pericardiectomy was successful. Although this very rare late complication of myocardial infarction has been reported as a sequela of frank anticoagulant induced haemopericardium, in this case there was no clinical evidence of such an association.
متن کاملMedium-term echocardiographic follow-up of systolic and diastolic left ventricular abnormalities after surgical treatment of subacute rupture.
Subacute rupture of the left ventricular free wall is a complication that occurs during the acute phase of a myocardial infarction. The subacute presentation makes surgical management possible. However, it is not known whether either pericardial manipulation or the use of pericardial patches influences left ventricular function over the medium term. Our aim was to monitor changes in left ventri...
متن کاملA case of constrictive pericarditis due to angiosarcoma mimicking acute ST elevation myocardial infarction
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is a very rare condition, and its etiology is most commonly idiopathic. Cardiac angiosarcoma (AS) is an exceptional tumor of heart but is the most common primary cardiac malignant tumor in adults. A 38-year-old male was referred to our clinic for substernal chest pain and dyspnea for the last 3 months. He had developed these symptoms after a severe upper respirato...
متن کاملPseudo cardiac tamponade in the setting of excess pericardial fat
Cardiac tamponade is the phenomenon of hemodynamic compromise caused by a pericardial effusion. Following a myocardial infarction, the most common causes of pericardial fluid include early pericarditis, Dressler's syndrome, and hemopericardium secondary to a free wall rupture. On transthoracic echocardiography, pericardial fluid appears as an echo-free space in between the visceral and parietal...
