Constrictive pericarditis
Constrictive pericarditis is caused by various reasons, such as inflammation of the pericardium and wall layer, deposition of fibrinous exudate, and gradual thickening, contracture and even calcification, which compresses the heart and the roots of large blood vessels, resulting in limited diastolic filling of the heart, and thus leads to a series of circulatory dysfunctions such as increased right atrial and vena cava pressures and decreased cardiac output. The most common causes of this type of inflammation in my country are tuberculosis and purulent infection, followed by fungal or viral infection.
