Abstract

A 40-year-old patient with no cardiovascular risk factors was admitted to our center for palpitations with dyspnea involving for 4 months. Clinical exam showed signs of global heart failure. The electrocardiogram showed atrial fibrillation and the chest X-ray revealed right atrial enlargement with left paraventricular calcifications. The diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis (CP) was diagnostic based on echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. Computed tomography (CT) scan chest showed extensive calcifications suggestive of calcific CP. Subsequently, he underwent pericardiectomy, through median sternotomy approach and is currently on follow-up with asymptomatic cardiac status.
