Constrictive pericarditis: portal, splenic, and femoral venous Doppler pulsatility: a case series.

In patients with CP, changes in hemodynamic and echocardiographic signs of RV dysfunction are rapidly reflected by changes in peripheral venous velocities. Identifying signs of splanchnic and peripheral vascular venous congestion could help identify patients at higher risk of developing postoperative complications following pericardiectomy.
