Sumario:We present the case of a 55‐year‐old female marathon runner who presented with progressive exercise intolerance and was diagnosed with effusive‐constrictive pericarditis. Stereotypical findings of this challenging diagnosis are shown by transthoracic echocardiographic and right heart catheterization. We treated the patient with a parietal pericardiectomy and pericardial waffle procedure to relieve a thick and constrictive epicardium.
