[Restrictive myocardiopathy and pulmonary Raynaud's syndrome].
Idiopathic restrictive myocardiopathy is an uncommon condition. The differential diagnosis with constrictive pericarditis may require endomyocardial biopsy or surgical exploration. The prognosis of idiopathic restrictive myocardiopathy reported in the literature is to the order of several years. In this case the association with pulmonary Raynaud syndrome appears to be fortuitous and has not been previously reported.
