Abstract

Constrictive pericarditis is present when a fibrotic, thickened, and adherent pericardium restricts diastolic filling of the heart. Several drugs can cause pericarditis, which can lead to chronic pericardial constriction. A case of constrictive pericarditis in a patient receiving the antiparkinsonian drug pergolide is reported.
