Abstract
Constrictive pericarditis can lead to paradoxical interventricular septal motion. Displacement encoding with stimulated echoes (DENSE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides a method for quantifying myocardial motion and strain. A case of constrictive pericarditis is presented and the diastolic ‘septal bounce’ is clearly evident in both anatomical and DENSE ciné MRI images. (See video link to full-text electronic article). The postoperative systolic septal wall-motion abnormality of cardiac surgery is portrayed with greater precision by DENSE than anatomical ciné MRI images.Keywords
