Forma inusitada de Pericardite Crônica Constritiva Idiopática

Abstract: A 55-year-old male patient presented in our service with progressive dyspnea and ascitis beginning 1 year and 8 months previously. He weighed 160 kg (normal weight 95 kg), with ascitis and orthopnea. On admission he presented normal echocardiograms. An electrocardiogram showed diffuse inverted T waves. An endomyocardial biopsy was not elucidative. A new echocardiogram confirmed a very thick pericardium. Surgical pericardial resection was indicated. The postoperative period was uneventful with complete remissio… Show more

“…In the last two decades, the evolution of non-invasive imaging examinations have facilitated the early recognition of Constrictive Pericarditis, with chest tomography having the highest specificity to show calcification and magnetic resonance imaging being the gold standard in the diagnosis of constrictive physiology, where it shows a thickening of the pericardium and dynamic abnormalities related to diastolic dysfunction. (GODOY et al, 2007).…”

“…A RNM mostra um espessamento do pericárdio e anomalias dinâmicas relacionadas a disfunção diastólica. (GODOY et al, 2007). Esta é mais específica para a detecção de inflamação ativa, auxiliando na identificação de pacientes candidatos a tratamento clinico com antiinflamatorios.…”

“…Na PC comumente encontram-se elevações leves na creatinina e enzimas hepáticas (em particular fosfatase alcalina), baixa voltagem do complexo QRS no ECG, Fibrilação Atrial (em 30% dos casos), nível sérico de albumina normal (nos casos de ascite por IC sem cirrose) 9,10,14,16 , parâmetros presentes no caso exposto.…”

“…O quadro clínico manifesta-se com sinais e sintomas de IC direita, pressão venosa sistêmica elevada (turgência de veia jugular, ascite, hepatomegalia, edema periférico), sinais de baixo débito cardíaco e ausculta pulmonar sem congestão 2 . É com frequência confundida com outras patologias, sendo muitas vezes diagnosticada erroneamente como Doença Hepática Crônica 9 .…”
