20
Q

top 5 etiologies behind constrictive pericarditis

A

idiopathic, prioir cardiac Sx, pericarditis, mediastinal radiation, CTD

21
Q

what sxs will pt get in constrictive pericaditis if RA = LA are 10mmHg?

what stage of cardiac cycle do restrictive and constrictive CM effect mainly?

A

diastole

24
Q

what is the systolic function (usually) in constriction or restriction?

A

normal

25
Q

what is the Kussmaul sign and what dz state is it seen in?

dilated despite TR/MR

30
Q

what is an abnormal pericardial thickness?

A

> 4mm

31
Q

ventricualr interdependence

A

constriction

the number one reason to suspect constriction

A

LV/RV interdependence

34

A

restrictive pattern

35
Q

3 factors that deme a worse prognosis s/p pericardiectomy for constriction

37
Q

when do you give corticosteroids for acute pericarditis? why?

A
  • refractory cases or contraindications to first line therapy
  • b/c of higher rate of recurrent pericarditis
38

A

restriction
