Key result
Multimodality imaging integrating echocardiography, CT, CMR, and PET enhances constrictive pericarditis diagnosis and management.
Why the study?
Constrictive pericarditis presents with non-specific symptoms and impairs cardiac function, making early recognition through meticulous multimodality imaging crucial for distinguishing it from restrictive cardiomyopathy and guiding therapy.
