Chronic Constrictive Pericarditis
View through CrossRef
Constrictive pericarditis is the result of a chronic inflammation of the pericardium. Chronic constrictive pericarditis is still a rare disease but is being recognized more frequently. It is characterized by fibrous thickening and calcification of pericardium that impairs diastolic filling, reduced cardiac output, and ultimately leads to diastolic heart failure. Clinically, chronic constrictive pericarditis is characterized by dyspnea during exercise, symptoms of right heart failure. Pericardiectomy with complete decortication is the treatment of choice for constrictive pericarditis.
