Article Synopsis
- An 80-year-old man with a history of heart issues presented with shortness of breath, revealing decreased heart sounds and irregular rhythms during the exam.
- Advanced imaging techniques showed pericardial calcification, leading to a diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis, likely idiopathic but possibly related to his previous heart conditions.
- While surgery (pericardiectomy) is an option for severe symptoms, doctors should also consider the patient's preferences for less invasive treatments, including rehabilitation strategies for managing symptoms.
