A member asked:
Is calcific constrictive pericarditis still with us?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Well it is rare to start with, hard to diagnose, and probably less common these days since tb, a major cause, is less common.

Yes : Less in the developed world. Tuberculosis still exists and is still a cause. Other causes are possible, but less frequent.
