Abstract
Multimodality imaging is used to diagnose a patient with prior acute pericarditis and demonstrated effusive-constrictive physiology characterized by pericardial thickening with effusion, pericardial enhancement consistent with active inflammation, and ventricular interdependence. These findings highlight the complementary role of cardiac magnetic resonance in the diagnosis and management of inflammatory constrictive pericardial disease.
