Fig. 11From: SCMR Position Paper (2020) on clinical indications for cardiovascular magnetic resonanceThis 72-year-old male was admitted with dyspnea, pleural fluid and cirrhosis. Horizontal long-axis T1-weighted fast spin echo imaging shows (a) shows a focally thickened pericardium (black arrow) focally constricting the apical half of the right ventricle (RV). Horizontal long-axis cine imaging (b) confirms the constriction of the RV apex by the thick pericardium (white arrow). Presence of a moderate tricuspid regurgitation, bilaterally dilated atria, and right-sided pleural effusion, indirect findings compatible with constrictive pericarditis. The patient underwent successfully a pericardectomyBack to article page
