Why the study?
Constrictive pericarditis is a rare complication of pericarditis that is difficult to diagnose due to non-specific presentation.
Constrictive pericarditis can mimic HFpEF, and multimodality imaging including CMR and invasive hemodynamics are crucial for accurate diagnosis and subsequent curative pericardiectomy.
