Computed tomography in constrictive pericardial disease. 1981

J L Doppman, and R Rienmuller, and J Lissner, and J Cyran, and H D Bolte, and B E Strauer, and H Hellwig

Thirteen patients with pericardial abnormalities and a question of constrictive hemodynamics underwent contrast enhanced cardiac computed tomography (CT). Those with clinical and catheterization evidence of restricted cardiac filling demonstrated three CT signs: a dilated IVC, a deformed ventricular contour, and an angulated interventricular septum. Patients with pericardial fluid, thickening, or calcification but without evidence of constriction showed none of these signs. Cardiac CT also defined sites of particular constriction for subsequent resection.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
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.
