Primary Pericardial Mesothelioma Causes Constrictive Pericarditis | JACC: Case Reports | ACC.25 | JACC: Case Reports

Sandra M. Oliver-McNeil, DNP, ACNP-BC, FACC, JACC: Case Reports Associate Editor, is joined by author Victor A. Ferrari, MD, FACC discussing this study from Ravindra et al presented at ACC.25 and published in JACC: Case Reports. This clinical vignette highlights the case of a 62-year-old male who presented with worsening dyspnea and was ultimately found to have constrictive pericarditis secondary to primary pericardial mesothelioma. The use of multimodality imaging can facilitate early diagnosis of this rare condition, helping to initiate treatment options for an otherwise high-mortality disease.
