Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Huda A. Karman, M.D.
Overview
- There is limited information about the historical perspective of constrictive pericarditis. In 1989, Hatle et al reported the two characteristic features in constrictive pericarditis. First, they showed dissociation between intrathoracic and intracardiac pressures. Second, enhanced ventricular interaction can also occur
