Constrictive pericarditis
Especially lateral reduction of the regional strain in constriction ➜ "strain reversus" (medial>lateral) or "hot septum"
Reduced image quality (no measurement anterolateral, reduction of strain inferolateral)
Contrictive pericardiits, infero & anterolateral reduction, "hot septum" especially inferoseptal
Reduced image quality (no measurement anterolateral, reduction of strain inferolateral)
Contrictive pericardiits, infero & anterolateral reduction, "hot septum" especially inferoseptal
Septal shift & bounce in strain imaging (focus IVS RV strain) ➜ hot septum (high normal to hyperdynamic septal contraction)
Severely reduced FWS & reduced GS

Septal shift & bounce in strain imaging (focus antero- & inferoseptal)
Constrictive pericarditis vs Pericarditis
Septal shift & bounce, reduced RV-strain in recurrent pericarditis, thickening of the pericardium subcostally (IVC dilated)
Septal shift & bounce, reduced RV-strain in recurrent pericarditis, thickening of the pericardium subcostally (IVC dilated)
Follow-up with anti-inflammatory therapy with ibuprofen & colchicine, persistent septal bounce & reduced FWS (apical reduction with pericardial thickening) & discrete anterolateral LV-strain reduction
Follow-up with anti-inflammatory therapy with ibuprofen & colchicine, persistent septal bounce & reduced FWS (apical reduction with pericardial thickening) & discrete anterolateral LV-strain reduction
Follow-up with Anakinra in combination with anti-inflammatory therapy without pericardial wall thickening
& normal FWS (1 & 3 months of therapy)
