Constrictive pericarditis hemodynamics - 2
Channel: Cardiology and Beyond
Date: 25/06/2020

Hey everyone, after having understood the hemodynamics in part 1 of the video series on constrictive pericarditis, this video stresses upon diastolic pressure equalization, ventricular dip and plateau pattern and the characteristic ‘m’ pattern of RA pressure. Also, mimics of constriction will be discussed. Enjoy!

❓ Active recall questions: 
1. What diastolic pressure findings are seen in constrictive pericarditis?
2. Can similar diastolic events be seen in causes other than constrictive pericarditis?
3. What is the relationship of RVEDP and LVEDP in constrictive pericarditis?
4. How do you compare the various pressures seen in constrictive pericarditis versus RCM/decompensated HF versus acute, severe RV failure/TR?

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.
