Abstract
The article addresses the diagnostic criteria based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in transient constrictive pericarditis (TCP), a rare form of constrictive pericarditis characterized by temporary signs of constriction. Constrictive pericarditis evident as myocardial thickening and fibrosis results in impaired diastolic filling and can manifest itself with symptoms similar to those of other pathologies, such as restrictive cardiomyopathy. The article presents two clinical cases of TCP, where the role of MRI in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients is highlighted. For diagnostics, echocardiography and MRI were used along with laboratory tests, including the tests for inflammation markers and troponin. MRI allows not only to visualize changes in the pericardial structure but also to monitor changes in the condition, which is important for choosing the treatment tactics. In both cases, symptoms were successfully resolved, and the patients' condition was normalized with drug therapy. The results highlight the importance of early diagnosis and proper management tactics to prevent irreversible changes in the pericardium and heart failure.
期刊介绍:
“Kardiologiya” (Cardiology) is a monthly scientific, peer-reviewed journal committed to both basic cardiovascular medicine and practical aspects of cardiology.
As the leader in its field, “Kardiologiya” provides original coverage of recent progress in cardiovascular medicine. We publish state-of-the-art articles integrating clinical and research activities in the fields of basic cardiovascular science and clinical cardiology, with a focus on emerging issues in cardiovascular disease. Our target audience spans a diversity of health care professionals and medical researchers working in cardiovascular medicine and related fields.
The principal language of the Journal is Russian, an additional language – English (title, authors’ information, abstract, keywords).
“Kardiologiya” is a peer-reviewed scientific journal. All articles are reviewed by scientists, who gained high international prestige in cardiovascular science and clinical cardiology. The Journal is currently cited and indexed in major Abstracting & Indexing databases: Web of Science, Medline and Scopus.
The Journal''s primary objectives
Contribute to raising the professional level of medical researchers, physicians and academic teachers.
