Why the study?
Can careful analysis of pressure contours from the right heart differentiate myocardial fibrosis from constrictive pericarditis?
Can careful analysis of pressure contours from the right heart differentiate myocardial fibrosis from constrictive pericarditis?
Careful analysis of right heart pressure contours may help differentiate myocardial fibrosis from constrictive pericarditis without the need for surgery or autopsy.
