<unk>  pericarditis must be differentiated from restrictive cardiomyopathy.  The evaluation of ventricular interdependence between the two ventricles is the best objective method to distinguish the two syndromes.<unk>  pericarditis should also be differentiated from cardiac tamponade, right-sided atrial tumors, such as myxomas, superior vena cava syndrome, right-sided valvular abnormalities (tricuspid stenosis or tricuspid regurgitation), systolic or diastolic congestive heart failure( pressure-overload and myocardial, valvular, or atherosclerotic disease causes)
