Abstract
Constrictive Pericarditis (CP) is an uncommon but potentially curable condition, typically presenting with right-sided heart failure and impaired ventricular filling. Diagnosis can be challenging and requires a structured approach that integrates various cardiovascular imaging modalities. This article offers a practical guide, based on evidence and clinical experience, for the step-by-step recognition of Constrictive Pericarditis, highlighting echocardiographic findings.
