Epidemiology and Risk Factors for Constrictive Pericarditis in a Statewide Australian Cohort of Patients With Pericardial Disease
In this large, contemporary cohort, constrictive pericarditis was rare but occurred more commonly after a diagnosis of tuberculosis, malignancy, liver disease, heart failure, recurrent pericardial disease, and pericardiocentesis. These findings highlight the importance of long-term vigilance when considering constriction in at-risk populations.
