Overview
Prevention
Constrictive pericarditis in some cases is not preventable.
However, the following conditions that can lead to constrictive pericarditis should be adequately treated.
- All forms of pericarditis
- Bacterial, viral, or surgical infections that cause abnormal buildup in the covering of the heart
- Chronic renal failure
- Connective tissue disorders
- Following pericarditis associated with ST elevation myocardial infarction (Dressler's syndrome)
- Fungal and parasitic infections
- In association with pulmonary asbestosis
- Incomplete drainage of purulent pericarditis
- Mesothelioma
- Neoplastic pericardial infiltration
- Postcardiothoracic surgery (any procedure where the pericardium is opened, damaged, or manipulated)
- Prior mediastinal radiation therapy
- Tuberculosis
