Supports multimodal imaging in rare MDR-TB constrictive pericarditis; leaves generalizability open pending larger studies.
Case Report (n=1)
A multidisciplinary imaging approach is valuable for assessing cardiac involvement and therapeutic outcomes in rare cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis with constrictive pericarditis.
Kraen et al. (2009) conducted a case report in Tuberculous pericarditis with constrictive physiology (n=1). Multidisciplinary imaging approach and antituberculous therapy was evaluated. A multidisciplinary imaging approach successfully determined the extent of cardiac involvement in a rare case of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis with constrictive pericarditis.
