Milk of Calcium Causing a Case of Calcific Pericardial Effusion.

ABSTRACT: A 60-year-old man presented with heart failure symptoms and was found to have a calcified pericardial effusion consistent with "milk of calcium" and constrictive physiology. The patient received a pericardiectomy and has had favorable outcomes at his 1-year follow-up. There are minimal reports of calcific pericardial effusion with constrictive pathology.
