Combination of constrictive pericarditis with restrictive cardiomyopathy

Combination of constrictive pericarditis with restrictive cardiomyopathy can occur after radiation as well as with cardiac transplant rejection. In case of transplant it is the pericardiotomy which can cause constriction while the rejection process can lead to restrictive cardiomyopathy. Radiation is the cause for both constrictive pericarditis and restrictive cardiomyopathy in post radiation cases.
