Figure 3 (A) Doppler findings in constrictive pericarditis. Pulsed-wave Doppler recording from the hepatic vein in the patient described in Figure 1, showing increased diastolic flow reversal with expiration (arrowhead). (B) Follow-up echocardiogram performed one month later, showing an absence of increased diastolic flow reversals with expiration (double arrowhead), consistent with resolution of constrictive hemodynamics. I = inspiration; E = expiration.
