A 53-year-old man presented with symptomatic severe pulmonary valve regurgitation. He underwent a diagnostic catheterization. A heavily calcified pericardium and the pressure tracings illustrate typical features of constrictive pericarditis physiology, including the "square root sign." This condition is important to recognize given the progressive nature and poor prognosis if untreated.
一名53岁男性因有症状的严重肺动脉瓣反流前来就诊。他接受了诊断性心导管检查。严重钙化的心包以及压力描记图显示了缩窄性心包炎生理学的典型特征,包括“平方根征”。鉴于这种疾病的进行性本质以及若不治疗预后较差,认识到这种情况很重要。
