RESUMEN
Resumen Se expone el caso de una paciente femenina de 39 años, con antecedente de disnea progresiva y eventos recurrentes de palpitaciones, en quien durante examen físico se observó ingurgitación yugular, ascitis de gran importancia y tercer ruido cardíaco compatible con "golpe pericárdico". Las pruebas de laboratorio mostraron niveles aumentados de péptido cerebral natriurético y titulación positiva de anticuerpos para el factor antinuclear. La radiografía de tórax mostró imagen radiopaca alrededor de la silueta cardiaca en patrón de "cáscara de huevo". La reconstrucción tomográfica evidenció calcificación pericárdica circunferencial difusa, incluida la pared miocárdica del ventrículo izquierdo y el músculo anteromedial papilar de la válvula mitral.
ABSTRACT
Abstract It is presented the case of a 39 year-old female patient with a history of progressive dyspnoea and recurrent palpitation events. On physical examination jugular ingurgitation was observed, as well as a highly significant ascites, and heart sounds compatible with "pericardial knock". The laboratory test results reported increased levels of brain natriuretic peptide and a positive antibody titre for antinuclear factor. The chest X-ray showed a radio-opaque image around the cardiac outline in an "egg shell pattern". The computed tomography reconstruction showed evidence of a diffuse calcification of the pericardial circumference, including the myocardial wall of the left ventricle and the antero-medial papillary muscle of the mitral valve.
