DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2021.3478
Abstract: Importance Enhanced ventricular interdependence is a highly sensitive and specific criterion for the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis (CP), but simultaneous ventricular measurements can be challenging at cardiac catheterization. Ejection times (ETs) correlate with stroke volumes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1001/jamacardio.2021.3483
Abstract: Constrictive pericarditis (CP) and restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) are serious disorders that share common pathophysiologic elements including biventricular diastolic dysfunction, elevated biatrial pressures, and reduced resting cardiac output. Yet,while these 2 disorders have similar clinical presentations,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pcad.2016.12.008
Abstract: Constrictive pericarditis (CP) represents a form of severe diastolic heart failure (HF), secondary to a noncompliant pericardium. The true prevalence of CP is unknown but it is observed in 0.2-0.4% of patients who have undergone… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/s0735-1097(19)33080-3
Abstract: Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is typically chronic and usually the result of scarring and loss of the normal elasticity of the pericardium and can be occult. A 21 year old female with 9 years history of… read more here.
