This case highlights the importance of having constrictive pericarditis (CP) as a differential diagnosis in unexplained sign and symptoms of right-sided heart failure. This case portrays challenges in diagnosing CP caused by certain rheumatologic diseases despite advances in diagnostic modalities, clinical suspicion remains the most important tool for this diagnosis.
