Overview
Echocardiography/Ultrasound
Echocardiography may be helpful in the diagnosis of tuberculous pericarditis. Findings on an echocardiography suggestive of tuberculous pericarditis include:
- Pericardial effusion
- Pericardial thickening
- Increased right ventricular dimensions
- Decreased left ventricular dimensions
- Abnormal septal motion
- Flattening of the left ventricular posterior wall during diastol
- Dilated inferior vena cava
- Dilated atrium
ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of tuberculous pericarditis. Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of tuberculous pericarditis include:
