“…This fact makes LGE very useful to guide the tapering of the anti-inflammatory therapy. In pericardial constriction, a complication secondary to chronic pericarditis that requires pericardiectomy as the definitive treatment, if CMR shows LGE as evidence of pericardial inflammation the constriction might be reversible with aggressive anti-inflammatory therapy, thus obviating the need for surgery (14,15). So LGE have important diagnostic and therapeutic implications in the context of pericarditis.…”
