Chronic constrictive pericarditis, a rare complication of rheumatic diseases, is now documented in dermatomyositis. This finding expands the differential diagnosis for liver conditions in patients with autoimmune disorders.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Cardiology
  • Internal Medicine

Background:

  • Rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus are known to cause chronic constrictive pericarditis.
  • Dermatomyositis is an idiopathic inflammatory myopathy.

Observation:

  • A case of chronic constrictive pericarditis in a patient with dermatomyositis is reported.
  • This represents the first documented instance of this association.

Findings:

  • The study highlights a novel association between dermatomyositis and constrictive pericarditis.
  • This expands the spectrum of cardiac complications in autoimmune rheumatic diseases.

Implications:

  • Clinicians should consider constrictive pericarditis in the differential diagnosis of liver cirrhosis and Budd-Chiari syndrome in patients with rheumatic diseases, including dermatomyositis.
