Echocardiography or<unk>  may be used in patients who develop pericardial effusion secondary to TB.  On rare occasions TB may result in congestive heart failure, in which case echocardiograph may also help in the diagnosis. echocardiogram findings in CHF include hypokinesia; valvular insufficiency as well as enlargement of all heart chambers.
Tuberculosis involves the heart in 1-2% of the cases, and the pericardium is the most commonly affected structure.  Patients with HIV have a high susceptibility for extrapulmonary tuberculosis including tuberculous pericarditis. Echocardiography is a good tool in diagnosing this extrapulmonary manifestation.
The common findings in echocardiography include:
Pericardial thickening
Pericardial effusion classified as mild, moderate, and severe
Exudative deposits with echo dense mass around epicardium
Fibrin strands from pericardium protruding or crossing the pericardial space
In rare occasions, the myocardium may be affected with TB and should be suspected in patients with congestive heart failure and clinical features of TB.
Echocardiographic findings may include:
Hypokinesia
Enlargement of all heart chambers
Mitral regurgitation
Tricuspid regurgitation
Left ventricular systolic dysfunction
Tuberculosis echocardiography or ultrasound
Multi-drug-resistant tuberculosis physical examination
Lung mass echocardiography and ultrasound
Lung abscess physical examination
Aspergillosis physical examination
