Abstract
Constrictive Pericarditis (CP) is a type of diastolic heart failure that occurs because the inelastic pericardium inhibits the filling of the heart. The true population prevalence is unknown, but among those with viral pericarditis, it is estimated to occur in less than 0.5% of cases [1]. Although the causes of CP can be different (idiopathic, post-viral, tuberculosis, post-surgery, radiation-induced, etc). The last end pathological pathway is the development of fibrous thickening or calcification of the pericardium, which leads to pericardial non-compliance [2,3].
