Pressure-Volume Analysis of Constrictive Pericarditis
Until now, diagnosis of constriction was based on pressure changes of ventricle by
conventional pressure-wide hemodynamic evaluation but not on ventricular volume change. This
study will provide answers to persisting questions about volume changes during respiration
in patients with constrictive pericarditis by directly measuring both right and left
ventricular volume.

Subjects referred for right and left heart catheterization will be eligible.
