Diverticula of the pericardium
The American Journal of Surgery, 1954Abstract The English literature on pericardial diverticulum is reviewed. Fifteen cases are summarized and one case is added. Various theories of origin are presented. Diagnostic x-ray studies are given and the typical surgical findings are presented.

Pseudotumor of the Pericardium
Pediatric Cardiology, 1997A 2-year-old girl presented with signs and symptoms of cardiac tamponade preceded by upper respiratory tract infection. A two-dimensional echocardiogram was suggestive of an intrapericardiac tumor. Exploration of the pericardium revealed a large amount of dense amber-colored "coagulated material." Microscopic examination of the material and the ...

Tuberculoma of the Pericardium
The British Journal of Radiology, 1976Pericardial diseases may mimic specific types of cardiac chamber or great vessel enlargement. This paper presents a very rare entity, tuberculoma of the pericardium, which was mis-diagnosed radiographically as left atrial enlargement. A 41-year-old white male complained of “congestion” and heaviness in his upper chest.

Pathophysiology of the Pericardium
Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases, 2017Pericardial 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.

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 Lancet, 2009
A 73-year old woman was admitted from another hospital for suspected ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). She had chest pain and dyspnoea. She had a history of treated hypertension and of gastro-oesophageal refl ux disease (GORD) with Barrett’s metaplasia which was diagnosed 3 months previously. ECG showed ST-segment elevation in leads I,

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

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 ...

A Congenital Defect of the Pericardium
The Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeon, 1999Ten patients with congenital defects of the pericardium were treated in Departments of Cardiac Surgery, Silesian School of Medicine in Zabrze and Katowice between 1989 and 1998. There were eight children and two adults, eight males and two females. In each case the pericardial defect was discovered intraoperatively during surgery for congenital heart ...

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.
