Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Kyoto Chubu Medical Center, 25, Yagi-Ueno, Yagi-cho, Nantan City, Kyoto 629-0197, Japan.
Background: Constrictive pericarditis (CP) can arise from various causes, including post-operative degeneration, tuberculosis, and sequelae of pericarditis. Immunoglobulin (Ig) G4-related disease is a rare but recognized cause of CP. However, the specific mechanisms underlying these aetiologies and pathologies remain unclear.

Background: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a promising treatment for atrial fibrillation. We report 1-year freedom from atrial arrhythmia outcomes using monopolar PFA delivered through 3 commercial, contact force-sensing focal catheters.
Methods: ECLIPSE AF (Safety & Clinical Performance Study of Catheter Ablation With the Centauri System for Patients With Atrial Fibrillation; NCT04523545) was a prospective, single-arm, multicenter study evaluating acute and chronic safety and performance using the CENTAURI system to deliver focal PFA with TactiCath SE, StablePoint, and ThermoCool ST.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic constrictive pericarditis (CCP) is a disease marked by the thickening of the pericardium, leading to heart function issues, with a focus on patient demographics and clinical profiles in Northeast India over a decade.
- The study analyzed 42 CCP patients between 2011 and 2020, highlighting a high prevalence in younger individuals and a significant history of tuberculosis among participants.
- Symptoms included dyspnea and physical exam findings such as edema and hepatomegaly; imaging revealed notable heart structural changes, emphasizing the need for better diagnosis and management in the region.
Jammed joints and constricted heart: The science of tribology and missing lubricin. A case report on camptodactyly-arthropathy-coxa vara-pericarditis syndrome.

An autosomal recessively inherited noninflammatory arthropathy known as camptodactyly, arthropathy, coxa vara, and pericarditis (CACP) syndrome was discovered in 1999. It is distinguished by synoviocyte hyperplasia and subcapsular fibrosis of the synovial capsule, which results in a shortage of lubricin production. The resulting lack of joint lubrication induces increased mechanical stress, causing progressive deformities that become evident with weight-bearing and heightened joint activity.

Constrictive pericarditis can lead to compromised diastolic ventricular filling due to pericardial inflammation and fibrosis. A diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis was established by identifying structural and hemodynamic features through echocardiography. We present a case of constrictive pericarditis, which manifested in the form of gradually worsening dyspnea and lower-extremity edema over a 7 years period.
