Overview

Supports serial monitoring of e' velocities and strain ratios to track anti-inflammatory response; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.

Structured PICO

Outcome
Improvement of constrictive physiology detected by lateral/septal e' and LSlateral/LSseptal and resolution of clinical symptomssurrogate

Serial monitoring of lateral/septal e' and LSlateral/LSseptal can be used to identify transient constrictive pericarditis and track response to anti-inflammatory therapy.
