Abstract

Echocardiography plays a crucial role in the evaluation of constrictive pericarditis. In this trukipedia we review the most characteristic echocardiographic findings: septal bounce, respiratory variation of mitral diastolic flow, mitral annulus tissue velocities, and supra-hepatic venous flow Doppler velocities
