I choose B
corticosticoids-->Na and water retention---> hypertension--->congestive (dilated) heart failure
restrictive: often due to endomyocardial fibrosis, other causes are amyloidosis, sarcodosis, hemachromatosis, Pompe's
hypertrophic: often familial, autosomal dominant
contrictive pericarditis: often in tuberculosis
Hypersensitivity: a various range of causes but usually results in restrictive cardiomyopathy
pls correct if I'm wrong

i think A, constrictive pericarditis as it true with any of autoimmune/connective tissue disorders. Pericardium is involved most of the time. In this case pericardium must have had effusions leading to constrictive pattern.
I think the clue is "LONG STANDING" , meaning involvement of more than articular spaces.
