    Abstract:
    We describe a case of a patient with advanced heart failure. On the basis of clinical status, echocardiography and the results of magnetic resonance, constrictive pericarditis was diagnosed. The seropositive rheumatoid arthritis was the cause of the constriction. Constrictive pericarditis should be considered in differential diagnosis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and heart failure.
