Description/Abstract A case of constritive pericarditis was demonstrated by a positive thallium SPECT stress test for myocardial ischemia.^After pericardiectomy, the repeat thallium stress test was normal.^The disappearance of the criteria for a positive test suggests that constrictive pericarditis can cause myocardial ischemia, which can be demonstrated by thallium SPECT stress testing.
