Overview
Echocardiography or Ultrasound can be helpful in patients who develop pericardial effusion secondary to TB.[1] On rare occasions TB may lead to congestive heart failure, in which case echocardiograph may also help in the diagnosis. Common findings in CHF on the echocardiogram include hypokinesia; valvular insufficiency; and enlargement of all heart chambers.
- Tuberculosis involves the heart in 1-2% of the cases, and the pericardium is the most commonly affected structure.[2][3] Patients with HIV have a high susceptibility for extrapulmonary tuberculosis including tuberculous pericarditis. Echocardiography is a good tool in diagnosing this extrapulmonary manifestation.
- The common findings in echocardiography include:[4]
- Pericardial thickening
- Pericardial effusion classified as mild, moderate, and severe
- Exudative deposits with echo dense mass around epicardium
- Fibrin strands from pericardium protruding or crossing the pericardial space
- Although rare, the myocardium may also be involved in TB and should be suspected in patients with congestive heart failure and clinical features suggestive of TB.
- Echocardiographic findings may include:[5][6]
- Hypokinesia
- Enlargement of all heart chambers
- Mitral regurgitation
- Tricuspid regurgitation
- Left ventricular systolic dysfunction
