Aim: We developed a rapid evaluation scale for pericardiectomy through a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), in order to improve the diagnostic accuracy of pericardiectomy of tuberculous constrictive pericarditis.
Method: In this study, 262 patients with tuberculous constrictive pericarditis (102 patients) and non-tuberculous constrictive pericarditis (160 patients) were selected by convenience sampling method as participants in Hangzhou Red Corss Hospital from January 2018 to April 2023. The expert validity analysis was carried out by cross-sectional investigation combined with the results of the previous expert questionnaire to establish 12-lead ECG-based the rapid evaluate scale for pericardiectomy of tuberculous constrictive pericarditis.

IgG-4 related disease (IgG4-RD) is an under recognised multisystem inflammatory disorder that has several typical manifestations. Cardiac manifestations of IgG4-RD are well documented however do not feature in the definition or diagnosis of IgG4-RD according to a recent consensus statement. The most well recognised cardiac manifestation of IgG4-RD, pericardial disease, is outlined in this case report as the initial presenting pathology.

Effect of Levosimendan on Low Cardiac Output Syndrome After Pericardiectomy.

Department of Thoracic Surgery, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, 310003, People's Republic of China.
Background: Low cardiac output syndrome (LCOS) after pericardiectomy is associated with high morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to assess the effect of levosimendan on postoperative LCOS in the patients with constrictive pericarditis.
Methods: Patients were retrospectively enrolled, and those receiving the treatment of levosimendan were assigned in the LEVO (+) group, and others were in the LEVO (-) group.

Introduction: we discuss the clinical case of a patient referred to our cardiology unit to evaluate the need for a pericardiectomy due to constrictive pericarditis.
Imaging: the echocardiographic assessment confirmed all diagnostic criteria for constrictive pericarditis; however, we conducted a cardiac MRI before referring the patient to the cardiac surgeon. This imaging technique not only confirmed the constrictive pathophysiology but also indicated extensive pericardial inflammation, consistent with transient constriction.
