Imaging the Pericardium

Cardiology Clinics, 1990
Noninvasive imaging has profoundly altered our ability to diagnose and manage patients with suspected pericardial disease. Although pericardial involvement may first become apparent on a chest radiography, echocardiography (M-mode, 2-D, and Doppler) is the procedure of choice for identifying and characterizing pericardial disease. CT and MRI frequently

Cysts of the pericardium

American Heart Journal, 1950
Abstract Cystic conditions affecting the pericadium have been discussed in general. The literature has been carefully reviewed, and the differential points and diagnostic procedures to be evaluated in a case presenting a lesion of this type are illustrated in a reported case.

Imaging of the Pericardium

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2001
Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are modalities well suited for imaging of the pericardium and pericardial disease. Both offer excellent resolution with a wide field of view. Both have advantages and disadvantages when compared with each other and with echocardiography.

The Heart and Pericardium

Thoracic Surgery Clinics, 2011
This article describes the normal anatomy of the heart and pericardium. Included is a detailed description of the pericardium, mediastinal nerves, cardiac chambers, valves, coronary arteries and veins, and the conduction tissues. As cardiac and thoracic surgery continue to get more specialized and the procedures become less invasive, it is essential ...

Diseases of the pericardium

1999
The study of pericardial diseases is generally carried out by means of echocardiography, which is still the technique of choice in detecting effusion and diagnosing temponade. Widely available, easy to operate, and inexpensive, ultrasound are every useful in these situations.

The normal pericardium

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1970
Abstract Under normal conditions the pericardium, with its fluid, lubricates the moving surfaces of the heart, holds the heart in a fixed geometric position and isolates the heart from other structures in the thorax, thus preventing adhesions and spread of infection.

Traumatic rupture of the pericardium

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1971
Abstract Isolated pericardial rupture due to nonpenetrating chest injury was diagnosed in a 21 year old man with multiple traffic injuries. Radiologic examination showed displacement of the heart to the left and therefore gave rise to a suspicion of pericardial rupture.
