A case report of pericardial constriction with coexisting severe left main coronary artery disease.

We suspect the inconclusive nature of the echocardiogram and cardiac catheterization was likely secondary to severe CAD impairing left ventricular relaxation and dampening ventricular interdependence. As such, clinicians should consider the possibility of coexistent severe CAD in patients with a clinical suspicion of CP, but inconclusive haemodynamics.
