Constrictive pericarditis

Constrictive pericarditis is caused by various causes of pericardial viscera, parietal inflammation, fibrous exudate deposition, and gradually mechanized thickening, contracture and even calcification, compressing the heart and large blood vessel roots, resulting in limited diastolic filling. This leads to a series of circulatory dysfunctions such as increased right atrium, increased vena cava pressure, and decreased cardiac output. The most common causes of inflammation in our country are tuberculosis and purulent infections, followed by fungal or viral infections.
