[Pericardial constriction with predominant involvement of the left heart chambers]
Abstract
Constrictive pericarditis is a common complication of purulent pericarditis and it can evolve to hemodynamic patterns different from the classical one. We report a patient that after purulent pericarditis, his clinical and hemodynamic features suggest isolated constriction of the left ventricle.
