Pathophysiology of the Pericardium

Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2017
Pericardial heart disease includes pericarditis, (an acute, subacute, or chronic fibrinous, noneffusive, or exudative process), and its complications, constriction, (an acute, subacute, or chronic adhesive or fibrocalcific response), and cardiac tamponade.

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

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.

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 ...
