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 can be idiopathic but the most common risk factors in the development of constrictive pericarditis are:

viral/idiopathic, connective tissue disease, pericardial injury syndromes, neoplastic pericarditis, tuberculosis, and purulent pericarditis.

Common Risk Factors

• Common risk factors in the development of constrictive pericarditis may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.
• Common risk factors in the development of constrictive pericarditis include:
