Constrictive pericarditis
Chest x-ray (lateral view)
Thickened pericardial contour from the apex to the upper cranial half of the heart, indicating fibrosis of the outer layer of the heart (green overlay).
Diagnosis: constrictive pericarditis
Additional findings:
(1) Wedge-shaped, extensive opacity, in the basal portion of the left lung, consistent with pleural effusion (green hatched overlay).
(2) Increased perihilar lung markings (red overlay), consistent with pulmonary stasis.

Constrictive pericarditis
Chest x-ray (lateral view)
Pericardial thickening and calcifications of the pericardial contour (particularly in the region of the apex; green overlay) can be seen, which indicate pericardial fibrosis.
Additionally, right-sided pleural effusion and prominent perihilar lung markings (suggesting pulmonary stasis) are visible.
