Constrictive pericarditis hemodynamics - 1
Channel: Cardiology and Beyond
Date: 20/06/2020

Hey guys…in part 1 of this video series, I am explaining the concepts behind the two main effects of constrictive pericarditis - dissociation of intrapericardial and intraventricular pressures & ventricular interdependence. Hope it makes sense!

About me:
I am Dr. Sonali, an interventional cardiologist from India. I have a special interest in cardiology academics & teaching with an emphasis on building clear concepts with clinical correlation. My channel "Cardiology and Beyond" serves to achieve the same...I hope you  find it useful in your clinical practice.
