Cardiac involvement in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a rare occurrence with a dismal prognosis, which may evolve with different clinical presentations, the most frequent being heart failure. Diagnosis of cardiac involvement is generally made by cardiac ultrasound. We report a case of lymphomatous pericarditis in the evolution of a non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, diagnosed by PET-CT scan, and occurring concomitantly with complete isotopic remission of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes following chemotherapy.

Article Synopsis
- Chronic constrictive pericarditis is a serious condition that affects the heart's ability to stretch and function, often caused by tuberculosis, especially in developing countries.
- A case study of a 64-year-old man with breathing difficulties and signs of right heart failure revealed significant thickening of the pericardium through various imaging techniques.
- After surgical intervention to remove the thickened pericardium, tests confirmed the presence of tuberculosis, and the patient showed good recovery after 6 months.

Article Synopsis
- During the COVID-19 pandemic, notable sex-related differences in cardiovascular complications were observed, particularly in left ventricular systolic function (LVSF) and right ventricular function (RVF) among patients recovering from the infection.
- A study involving 274 patients (127 men and 147 women) under 55 years old revealed that men were more likely to experience altered LVSF, while women had higher instances of impaired RVF and diastolic dysfunction (DD).
- The research indicated that these cardiovascular issues were linked to the severity of the initial COVID-19 infection and improved over time, significantly affecting the patients' overall functional status.

Erdheim-Chester disease is a rare histiocytosis that primarily affects the skeletal system, but cardiovascular manifestations occur in 75% of cases and are associated with a poor prognosis. Given the small number of cases, the evolution and management of the disease are uncertain. Therefore, it is important to report and share Erdheim-Chester cases.
