A 42-year-old woman

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Differentiating restrictive cardiomyopathy from constrictive pericarditis is challenging.
  • Constrictive pericarditis can present with subtle signs, complicating diagnosis.

Observation:

  • A patient initially diagnosed with cardiac heart failure due to restrictive cardiomyopathy was re-evaluated.
  • Persistent symptoms led to further investigations over nine years.

Findings:

  • The patient was ultimately diagnosed with occult constrictive pericarditis.
  • The initial diagnosis of restrictive cardiomyopathy was incorrect.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the diagnostic difficulties in distinguishing these two cardiac conditions.
  • Improved diagnostic approaches are needed for occult constrictive pericarditis.
