AB  - Introduction: Tuberculous pericarditis continues to be a leading cause of chronic 
      constrictive pericarditis (CCP) in developing countries. Echocardiography plays a 
      key role in the assessment and diagnosis. Methods: Twelve patients who underwent 
      pericardiectomy for CCP in last 18 months of the study period were subjected to 
      clinical and New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class assessment along 
      with comprehensive echocardiographic evaluation. The data were compared with 
      their preprocedural status. Results: Significant reduction was noted in the 
      incidence of inferior vena cava (IVC) congestion(P < 0.001) and mean left atrial 
      (LA) size from 43.75 +/- 4.43 mm to 31.58 +/- 3.03 mm (P < 0.001), post 
      pericardiectomy.Respiratory variation of 34.17 +/- 8.76 % in the mitral E velocity 
      was significantly reduced to 17 +/- 3.69 % (P < 0.001) after surgery. Similarly, 
      respiratory variation in tricuspid E velocities showed significant reduction from 
      62.17 +/- 13.16 % to 32.58 +/- 4.7 % (P < 0.001).Prior to pericardiectomy, medial e' 
      and lateral e' mitral annular velocities was 15.5+/-1.24 cm/sec and13.08 +/- 1.08 
      cm/sec, respectively. Following surgery, the medial e' and lateral e' was 
      12.5+/-1.17 cm/sec(P = 0.001) and 15.42+/-1.83 (P = 0.004), respectively. Conclusion: 
      Echocardiography provides useful insight in pericardial constriction hemodynamics 
      and worthwhile effects of pericardiectomy.
