The association between large pericardial effusion and restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is uncommon and has seldom been described. We describe an uncommon case of a 31-year-old male with RCM who presented with large, recurrent pericardial effusion, heart failure, and echocardiographic findings showing progressive worsening of diastolic function even after total pericardiectomy who was eventually transferred for cardiac transplant evaluation.
大心包积液与限制型心肌病(RCM)之间的关联并不常见,很少有相关描述。我们描述了一例罕见的 31 岁男性 RCM 病例,该患者表现为大、反复发作的心包积液、心力衰竭以及超声心动图表现出舒张功能进行性恶化,甚至在全心包切除术之后仍然如此,最终转诊进行心脏移植评估。
