Echocardiography
Echocardiographic findings in constrictive pericarditis include thickened pericardium with dilated atria and venae cavae. In pericardial effusion, large hypoechoic regions are seen surrounding the heart with presence of oscillatory motion of heart. Cardiac tamponade demonstrates right atrial collapse, right ventricular diastolic collapse, and increased variation of mitral and tricuspid flow with respiration.
Below is a video demonstrating echocardiographic features of cardiac tamponade
