| pericarditis, tuberculous | Infection of the pericardium with tubercle bacilli. This condition arises by contiguous extension of tuberculous lesions of the hilar or mediastinal lymph nodes or by pleuropulmonary tuberculosis. (12 Dec 1998) |

| chronic constrictive pericarditis | Tuberculous or other infection of the pericardium, with thickening of the membrane and constriction of the cardiac chambers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| constrictive pericarditis | <pathology> Chronic inflammation of the pericardial sac (pericarditis) can lead to scarring and fibrosis of the pericardium. Due to this process, the pericardium can interfere with the hearts ability to pump blood into the systemic circulation. Causes include tuberculosis infection, radiation therapy, cardiac surgery, viral infection or autoimmune disease. Symptoms are those of right-sided congestive heart failure. Surgery to cut the pericardium may be necessary. Complications include cardiac tamponade and pulmonary oedema. See: pericardial sac. (27 Sep 1997) |
| postmyocardial infarction pericarditis | <pathology> Inflammation of the pericardium. (18 Nov 1997) |
