Key result
A structured approach combining clinical signs and multimodality imaging facilitates early constrictive pericarditis recognition.
Why the study?
Diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis can be challenging and requires a structured approach integrating various cardiovascular imaging modalities.
A structured multimodality imaging approach, primarily utilizing echocardiography, is essential for accurately diagnosing constrictive pericarditis and differentiating it from restrictive cardiomyopathy.
Constrictive Pericarditis (CP) is an uncommon but potentially curable condition, typically presenting with rightsided heart failure and impaired ventricular filling.Diagnosis can be challenging and requires a structured approach that integrates various cardiovascular imaging modalities.This article offers a practical guide, based on evidence and clinical experience, for the step-by-step recognition of Constrictive Pericarditis, highlighting echocardiographic findings.

Travessa et al. (2026) conducted a review in Constrictive Pericarditis. Multimodality imaging was evaluated. A structured diagnostic approach combining clinical signs and multimodality imaging, primarily echocardiography, facilitates the early recognition and evaluation of constrictive pericarditis.
