  • Title: The hemodynamic signs of constrictive pericarditis can be mimicked by tricuspid regurgitation.
    Author: Studley J, Tighe DA, Joelson JM, Flack JE.
    Journal: Cardiol Rev; 2003; 11(6):320-6. PubMed ID: 14580301.
    Abstract:
    A case with clinical and hemodynamic findings consistent with constrictive pericarditis is reported. At surgery, the pericardium was not thickened or adherent to the epicardial wall. As suggested by echocardiography, a diagnosis of severe tricuspid regurgitation was confirmed. This case illustrates that invasive hemodynamic findings consistent with a picture of pericardial constriction can be produced by processes other than constrictive pericarditis.
