Overview
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is rare and is usually developed as a complication of acute pericarditis. Although there are no established risk factors for constrictive pericarditis, prospective studies have shown an increased risk after long-term follow-up of acute pericarditis.
Risk Factors
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is rare and is usually developed as a complication of acute pericarditis. Although there are no established risk factors for constrictive pericarditis, prospective studies have shown an increased risk after long-term follow-up of acute pericarditis. Acute pericarditis can be developed due to the following:
- Idiopathic
- Viral
- Connective tissue disease
- Pericardial injury syndromes
- Neoplastic pericarditis
- Tuberculosis pericarditis.
- Purulent pericarditis
All these factors or etiologies can result in the development of constrictive pericarditis eventually.
