Fig. 6.7 The systolic area index (SAI) differentiating constrictive pericarditis from restrictive cardiomyopathy as demonstrated by Talreja and associates in 2008. (a) Simultaneous left ventricle
(LV) and right ventricle (RV) pressure tracing in a patient with constrictive pericarditis showing an
increase in the area of RV pressure curve during inspiration as compared with expiration. However,
the area of the LV pressure curve decreases during inspiration as compared with expiration. (b)
Conversely, in a patient with restrictive cardiomyopathy, there is a decrease in the area of the RV
pressure curve as compared with expiration. The area of the LV pressure curve remains unchanged
during inspiration as compared with expiation
6 Pathophysiology ofChronic Constrictive Pericarditis
6.3 Fluid Retention inChronic Constrictive Pericarditis
As compared to other causes of congestive cardiac failure, the degree of ascites is
disproportionate to pedal oedema in chronic constrictive pericarditis. The pathogenesis of ‘ascites precox’ remains conjectural. High right atrial pressure, increased
venous pressure, increased capillary permeability, cardiac cirrhosis, hypoalbuminemia secondary to protein losing enteropathy and impedance to lymphatic ow are
various factors causing ‘ascites precox’ [19–21, 26, 45–49, 56].
Patients with chronic constrictive pericarditis retain more sodium and water than
patients with myocardial failure. Limited studies are available in the literature
exploring the causative mechanisms of uid retention in chronic constrictive pericarditis. Anand and associates noted in 16 patients having untreated chronic constrictive pericarditis that the mechanisms and magnitude of water and sodium
retention in constrictive pericarditis was different from congestion secondary to low
cardiac output due to failed myocardium. They noted higher volume retention and
lower vascular resistance for a comparable reduction in cardiac output in constrictive pericarditis compared to patients having myocardial disease. They also noted
similar renin-angiotensin-aldosterone activation status like other causes of congestive cardiac failure [6–8].

Patients having constrictive pericarditis had vefold rise of atrial natriuretic peptide levels as compared to normal controls, but the rise was only one-third of that
seen in patients with myocardial disease. However, the atrial natriuretic peptide
levels in chronic constrictive pericarditis are disproportionately less than the degree
of raised right atrial pressure [6–8].
Since atrial natriuretic peptide release is mediated by atrial stretch, the asynchrony between the relatively low atrial natriuretic peptide levels and raised right
atrial pressure can be explained by less distensible atria caused by a constricting
pericardium in chronic constrictive pericarditis. The atrial natriuretic peptide
hypothesis has been suggested to explain the greater salt and water retention and
lack of pulmonary oedema in chronic constrictive pericarditis despite high right
atrial pressure [6, 8, 54, 55].
In chronic constrictive pericarditis, all segments of the autonomic nervous system have severe autonomic dysfunction as compared with restrictive cardiomyopathy and endomyocardial brosis [62].

Clinical Presentation, Lab Investigations,
andEndomyocardial Biopsy
7.1 Clinical Challenges andDiagnostic Dilemma
Constrictive pericarditis is thrice as common in males. Although published literature cites an age range between 7 and 70years, the great majority of affected patients
are below 40years of age [3, 10–17, 22–24, 71, 81–87].
The condition has posed a diagnostic dilemma since it was rst recognized. All
cases of constrictive pericarditis cannot be diagnosed using a single criterion. In the
majority, the diagnosis may be established on the basis of the history, physical ndings, chest radiography, and at least two positive multimordality imaging studies
including cardiac catheterization.
The hallmark diagnostic tool is the clinical suspicion of constrictive pericarditis
in a patient with signs and symptoms of right-sided heart failure that are disproportionate to left sided, pulmonary or heart disease.
Although non-specic, the clinical features of constrictive pericarditis are secondary to elevated systemic venous pressures, debilitating chronic right-sided cardiac failure, and low cardiac output.
In the majority, symptoms develop over several years; however in cases of
trauma, mediastinal irradiation, and cardiac surgery, symptoms may appear quicker
[20]. The symptoms of tubercular pericarditis are usually non-specic and consists
of fever, weight loss, and night sweats. The most common complaints described are
exertional dyspnea (78%), ascites (70%), pedal oedema (55%), abdominal discomfort (35%) and fatigue (30%) [50–52, 84].
In chronic constrictive pericarditis, the degree of ascites is disproportionate to
pedal oedema, a sequence opposite to that of other causes of congestive heart failure. The pathogenesis of ‘ascites precox’ in the appearance of ascites followed by
pedal oedema remain conjectural. Disproportionately high right atrial pressure, protein losing enteropathy causing hypoalbuminemia, increased capillary permeability,
impedance to lymph ow, disproportionately high atrial natriuretic peptide, and

cardiac cirrhosis have been variously implicated as the causative factors for ascites
precox [13, 32, 41].
A mechanical constriction around the heart remain the causative factor for rightsided heart failure without severe dyspnoea, thus differentiating it from valvular
heart disease, endomyocardial brosis, and cardiomyopathies. Because of elevation
and equalization of end-diastolic pressure in all cardiac chambers, systemic congestion is more marked than pulmonary congestion. With progression of the disease
due to aggravation of hepatic congestion, atrial brillation and tricuspid regurgitation, severe fatigue, muscle wasting, cachexia, generalized anasarca and jaundice
develops. Symptoms and signs of left-sided heart failure namely dyspnoea, cough,
and orthopnoea may also appear at a later stage.
7 Clinical Presentation, Lab Investigations, andEndomyocardial Biopsy
7.2 Physical Examination
Sinus tachycardia and normal arterial blood pressure are generally evident, except
in advanced cases, where it may be low. In upto 86% of cases, a markedly elevated
jugular venous pressure, presenting as a rapidly collapsing, negative wave of diastolic Y-descent combined with a normal X-decent, produces a ‘M’ or ‘W’ shaped
contour of Bloomeld [9]. Physical examination reveals two prominent descent
with each cardiac cycle.
At times tachycardia, tachypnoea, dyspnoea and atrial brillation limits visualization of the typical jugular venous pulse. Depending on the chronicity of the disease, upto one-third of cases present with atrial brillation. White attributed this to
compression scars in the right-atrium. In patients with at brillation,x-descent in
lost and y-descent remains [85]. Kussmaul’s sign present an increase in jugular
venous pressure during inspiration or the pressure may simply fail to decrease during inspiration. Basically, the Kussmaul’s sign reects loss of normal increase in
venous return to the right-side of the heart during inspiration [34, 35].
The Mayo Clinic group detected the presence of Kussmaul’s sign in 28 out of
135 patients with constrictive pericarditis undergoing pericardiectomy [28, 36, 37].
However, Kussmaul’s sign lack specicity as it is also seen in patients with restrictive cardiomyopathy, tricuspid stenosis, endomyocardial brosis, and right ventricular failure [2, 40, 45, 75].
Evidence of pulsus paradoxus is found in about one-third of patients with constriction, especially those with effusive-constrictive pericarditis [36, 37]. It has been
termed paradoxus because of the absence of a radial pulse despite the presence of a
corresponding heart beat [34, 35]. The pulse disappears during inspiration and
becomes palpable during expiration [5, 30, 31]. A decrease in systolic blood pressure by more than 10 mmHg during inspiration suggests the presence of pulsus
paradoxus. Physiologically, it is best explained by the lack of transmission of
decreased intrathoracic pressure to left-sided cardiac chambers [42, 46].
Kussmaul’s paradoxical pulse is also seen in patients with massive pericardial
effusion, cardiac tamponade, acute myocardial infraction, massive pulmonary

thromboembolism, restrictive cardiomyopathy, severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and tension pneumothorax [29, 30].
Due to extensive pericardial adhesion and calcication, the apex beat is impalpable in the great majority of patients with constriction (90% in Woods series) [81].
The cardiac impulse may fail to change with change in body position and the heart
sound appears distant and mufed [81].
Systolic retraction of apical impulse may be present. A diastolic lift (pericardial
knock) that coincides with a high-pitched early diastolic sound and sudden inspiratory splitting of the second heart sound, heard best at the left sternal border or at the
cardiac apex are specic clinical signs found in 21% and 36% of patients with constrictive pericarditis respectively [2].
Diastolic pericardial knock occurs 0.06–0.12seconds after aortic component of
second heart sound, has a higher frequency than third heart sound, and corresponds
to abrupt cessation of ventricular lling.
Dalton and colleagues reported hepatomegaly (89%), ascites (45%) and peripheral oedema (76%) in their series of patients. Advanced cases exhibit dusky facial
hue, muscle wasting, cachexia of the extremities, huge ascites disproportionate to
pedal oedema, and prominent hepatic pulsation [4, 19, 31, 33, 71].
83
7.3 Laboratory Investigation
Among the laboratory parameters in constrictive pericarditis, the erythrocyte sedimentation rate may be raised. Hypoalbuminemia, hyperbilirubinemia, raised blood
urea, and serum creatinine are important incremental risk factors following pericardiectomy [10–17, 22–27, 33].
7.4 Electrocardiogram
Although electrocardiographic ndings are non-specic, a completely normal electrocardiogram is rare in constrictive pericarditis. Low QRS voltage and non-specic
S-T wave abnormalities are common [18, 33, 53].
Several investigators including ourselves have reported electrocardiographic
ndings of p-mitrale in 19–43% of individuals with constrictive pericarditis [10–18,
21, 38, 39, 72].
Atrial brillation and atrial utter have been reported in upto one-third of cases
of constrictive pericarditis. Other unusual electrocardiographic ndings include
right ventricular hypertrophy due to brous band narrowing the right ventricular
outow tract [10–12, 81–87]. In advanced cases of calcic constrictive pericarditis,
Q wave may be noted as a result of myocardial penetration by the calcic specules.
[20, 21, 38, 39, 53].

7.5 Chest Radiography, Echocardiography, Multimodality
Imaging, Cardiac Catheterization Studies
The role of the above-mentioned investigative modalities have been detailed in
Chap. 8.
7.6 Endomyocardial Biopsy
This investigative modality is helpful when echocardiographic, hemodynamic and
multimodality imaging studies conclusively fails to establish the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis [4–8].
The major role of endomyocardial biopsy is to distinguish constrictive pericarditis from disease entities like restrictive cardiomyopathy, tropical endomyocardial
brosis, eosinophilic cardiomyopathy, amyloidosis, hemochromatosis or other varieties of inltrative diseases [1, 5–8, 22–27, 41–44, 46–49, 53–70, 73, 74, 76–80,
88, 89].
