Constrictive pericarditis

Discussion:

Distortion of the normal cardiac contour indicates constrictive physiology due to thickening and calcifications of the pericardium. This causes interstitial edema in the right lung. 

The presence of right pleural thickening with effusion and partially imaged peritoneal thickening/ascites indicates an infectious process such as TB (endemic in the patient's area) as the cause.
