          Abstract

          Antecedentes: La pericarditis efusivo-constrictiva es un síndrome hemodinámico poco frecuente, en el cual el pericardio visceral constriñe al corazón con la presencia de líquido libre en el espacio pericárdico; fue descrito y caracterizado por Hancock en 1971. Se caracteriza por la presencia de presión elevada en la aurícula derecha persistente después de pericardiocentesis del derrame pericárdico; su etiología es diversa y su curso incierto, llegando a ser reversible o más frecuentemente requerir pericardiectomía extensa. Caso clínico: Masculino de 35 años sin antecedentes de importancia, con evolución de disnea progresiva y dolor torácico secundarios a infección de vías aéreas, en quien se efectuó diagnóstico de derrame pericárdico, manejado con colchicina y AINEs, evolucionando con disminución del derrame pero empeorando las alteraciones hemodinámicas, corroboradas por ecocardiografía. Con diagnóstico de pericarditis efusivo-constrictiva fue sometido a pericardiectomía con excelente evolución, clasificando el cuadro como idiopático después de múltiples pruebas diagnósticas en busca de la etiología. Conclusiones: La pericarditis efusivo-constrictiva es un síndrome poco frecuente que debe tenerse presente en la evolución de los pacientes con derrame pericárdico.

          Background: Effusive-constrictive pericarditis is an uncommon clinical hemodynamic syndrome in which constriction of the heart by the visceral pericardium occurs in the presence of tense effusion in a free pericardial space. This variety of constrictive pericarditis was observed and characterized by Hancock in 1971. The hallmark of effusive-constrictive pericarditis is the persistence of elevated right atrial pressure after intrapericardial pressure has been reduced to normal levels by removal of pericardial fluid. The causes are diverse and its course may be reversible or more frequently requiring extensive pericardiectomy. Clinical case: 35 year old male without an important medical history, with dyspnea and chest pain secondary to airway infection, in whom a diagnosis of pericardial effusion was made, handled with colchicine and NSAIDs, he presented decreased of pericardial effusion but worsening hemodynamic alterations corroborated by echocardiography. Diagnosed as an effusive-constrictive pericarditis a pericardiectomy was performed with excellent evolution. After multiple diagnostic tests the disease was catalogued like an idiopathic form. Conclusions: Effusive-constrictive pericarditis is a rare syndrome and it should be considered in the evolution of patients with pericardial effusion.

            Efficacy and safety of colchicine for treatment of multiple recurrences of pericarditis (CORP-2): a multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomised trial.

            Colchicine is effective for the treatment of acute pericarditis and first recurrences. However, conclusive data are lacking for the efficacy and safety of colchicine for treatment of multiple recurrences of pericarditis.

              Constrictive pericarditis in the modern era: evolving clinical spectrum and impact on outcome after pericardiectomy.

              The clinical spectrum of constrictive pericarditis (CP) has been affected by a change in incidence of etiological factors. We sought to determine the impact of these changes on the outcome of pericardiectomy. The contemporary spectrum of CP in 135 patients (76% male) evaluated at the Mayo Clinic from 1985 to 1995 was compared with that of a historic cohort. Notable trends were an increasing frequency of CP due to cardiac surgery and mediastinal radiation and presentation in older patients (median age, 61 versus 45 years). Perioperative mortality decreased (6% versus 14%, P = 0.011), but late survival was inferior to that of an age- and sex-matched US population (57+/-8% at 10 years). The long-term outcome was predicted independently by 3 variables in stepwise logistic regression analyses: (1) age, (2) NYHA class, and most powerfully, (3) a postradiation cause. Of 90 late survivors in whom functional class could be determined, functional status had improved markedly (2.6+/-0.7 at baseline versus 1.5+/-0.8 at latest follow-up [P<0.0001]), with 83% being free of clinical symptoms. The evolving profile of CP, with increasingly older patients and those with radiation-induced disease in the past decade, significantly affects postoperative prognosis. Long-term results of pericardiectomy are disappointing for some patient groups, especially those with radiation-induced CP. By contrast, surgery alleviates or improves symptoms in the majority of late survivors.
