Constrictive pericarditis

Chest

Constrictive pericarditis is a condition where the sac surrounding the heart becomes thickened and scarred, restricting normal heart movement. It can develop after infection or inflammation. An MRI may show changes in the pericardium consistent with thickening and restriction. Finding constrictive pericarditis early may allow for surgical treatment before significant heart failure develops.

SCReening explained
It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
