Introduction Constrictive pericarditis presents with diagnostic challenges because of its nonspecific presentation which can resemble heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, restrictive myocardial diseases, and cardiac tamponade [1]. Worldwide, the leading cause of constrictive pericarditis is tuberculosis.
