Advances in multi-modality imaging for constrictive pericarditis and pericardial inflammation: role of imaging-guided therapy.

Advances in multimodality imaging allow for a more precision diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis. There has been a paradigm shift in pericardial disease management with advances in multimodality imaging, especially CMR, to detect subacute and chronic inflammation. This has enabled imaging-guided therapy (IGT) to both help prevent and potentially reverse established constrictive pericarditis.
