title: [Echokymography in the diagnosis of clinico-morphologic variants of pericarditis].
abstract: Analysis of the results of the ultrasound diagnosis in 173 patients with different clinico-morphologic variants of pericarditis has demonstrated that in spite of the fact that echokymography does not provide any additional information as compared with uni- or two-dimensional echocardiography, it nevertheless promotes the more reliable diagnosis of pericarditis. Echokymography turned out the most informative in nonuniform constriction seen in adhesive pericarditis and in restricted exudates in the cavity of the pericardium.
