Implication

Radiation fibrosis may mimic constriction unresponsive to pericardiectomy; hypothesis-generating for differentiation in post-radiation cohorts.

Population

Patient with metastatic carcinoma of the breast who received chest radiation

Intervention

Chest radiation

Outcome

Myocardial fibrosis simulating constrictive pericarditis

Chest radiation can cause myocardial fibrosis that clinically and hemodynamically simulates constrictive pericarditis but is unresponsive to pericardiectomy.
