Overview
Constrictive pericarditis is most commonly caused by conditions or events that cause inflammation to develop around the heart, including idiopathic, infectious (viral, bacterial, tuberculous, fungal, parasitic ) and purulent pericarditis. It can also occur post MI (Dressler syndrome), post surgical (CABG), post radiation therapy. Constrictive pericarditis can also be caused by or associated with connective tissue disease, pulmonary asbestosis, chronic renal failure, neoplasm (mesothelioma).
Causes
Common Causes
Constrictive pericarditis is most commonly caused by conditions or events that cause inflammation to develop around the heart, including:
- Coronary artery bypass graft surgery: In patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass surgery with pericardial sparing, there is danger of tearing a bypass graft while removing the pericardium. If any pericardium is not removed, it is possible for bands of pericardium to cause localized constriction which may cause symptoms and signs consistent with constriction.
- Radiation therapy to the chest [1]
- Tuberculosis. This is the most frequent cause of constriction in Africa and Asia.
- Post viral pericarditis
- Post-surgical
- Prior mediastinal radiation therapy
- Chronic renal failure (uremic pericarditis) [2]
- Connective tissue disorders
- Neoplastic pericardial infiltration
- Incomplete drainage of purulent pericarditis
- Fungal and parasitic infections
- Following pericarditis associated with ST elevation myocardial infarction (Dressler's syndrome)
- In association with pulmonary asbestosis
- Mesothelioma
- Bacterial, viral, or surgical infections that cause abnormal buildup in the covering of the heart
