A 49-year-old woman experienced acute myocardial infarction with a hemodynamic pattern resembling constrictive pericarditis. To clarify its mechanism, we performed right atrial pacing and volume challenge test during the chronic state. Although these two interventions elevated diastolic pressures of the both ventricles, the dip and plateau pattern was not reproduced. Factors other than ischemia may be important in producing a hemodynamic pattern resembling constrictive pericarditis in acute myocardial infarction.

D010494 Pericarditis, Constrictive Inflammation of the PERICARDIUM that is characterized by the fibrous scarring and adhesion of both serous layers, the VISCERAL PERICARDIUM and the PARIETAL PERICARDIUM leading to the loss of pericardial cavity. The thickened pericardium severely restricts cardiac filling. Clinical signs include FATIGUE, muscle wasting, and WEIGHT LOSS.
