Abstract
Introduction: We report the observation of a patient hospitalized in cardiology for exploration of dyspnea associated with a picture of right heart failure for which a chronic constrictive pericarditis is evoked in front of pericardial calcifications at the trans-thoracic echography with aortic bicuspidia. This didactic observation is the occasion to recall the different complementary examinations allowing to affirm the constriction and thus to eliminate a restrictive cardiopathy.
