A 66-year-old man with seronegative, erosive rheumatoid arthritis for 12 years presented with malaise, elevated alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transferase, and leg oedema. He subsequently developed ascites. No liver pathology was found, but cardiac analysis including right heart catheterisation revealed constrictive pericarditis. Rheumatoid constrictive pericarditis is a rare condition, but, despite current effective treatment for rheumatoid arthritis, still occurs. Diagnostic delay is frequent. Although mortality of the intervention is high, pericardiectomy is needed for most patients.
一名66岁男性,患血清阴性侵蚀性类风湿关节炎12年,出现全身不适、碱性磷酸酶和γ-谷氨酰转移酶升高以及腿部水肿。随后出现腹水。未发现肝脏病变,但包括右心导管检查在内的心脏检查显示为缩窄性心包炎。类风湿性缩窄性心包炎是一种罕见疾病,尽管目前对类风湿关节炎有有效的治疗方法,但仍会发生。诊断延误很常见。虽然手术死亡率很高,但大多数患者仍需要进行心包切除术。
