Abstract:

Background: The collection of extra fluid in the pericardial sac surrounding the heart is referred to as a pericardial effusion. The pericardial sac contains between 15 and 50 milliliters (mL) of serous fluid in a healthy person. Infectious organisms or malignant cells may be present in this fluid, which can be transudative, exudative, or sanguineous. Infection, inflammation, or direct blood filling of the pericardial sac from a defect in the myocardium (iatrogenic or traumatic injury or heart wall rupture) or backfilling from an ascending aortic dissection that dissects into the pericard

Abstract:

Silicosis is an occupational lung disorder caused by inhalation of silica dust. It not only causes respiratory disorders but also affects other organs. We report an extremely rare case of silicosis complicated by pericarditis in an 83-year-old male. He had been working as a coal miner and was diagnosed with silicosis at the age of 63. Because he had experienced repeated pericardial effusions, he was referred for a surgical pericardial biopsy to elucidate the cause of his repeated pericardial effusion and to perform pericardial fenestration. Thoracoscopic surgery was performed. The pericardium

Abstract:

Neoplastic pericardial effusion is a common and serious manifestation of advanced malignancies. Lung and breast carcinoma, haematological malignancies, and gastrointestinal cancer are the most common types of cancer involving the pericardium. Pericardial involvement in neoplasia may arise from several different pathophysiological mechanisms and may be manifested by pericardial effusion with or without tamponade, effusive-constrictive pericarditis and constrictive pericarditis. Management of these patients is a complex multidisciplinary problem, affected by clinical status and prognosis of pati

Abstract:

Pericardial effusion is an accumulation of fluid in the pericardial cavity, which can lead to cardiac tamponade – a life–threatening condition of the animal. In cardiac tamponade, the intrapericardial pressure exceeds the diastolic filling pressure of the right ventricle. This, in turn, leads to compression of the right chambers of the heart during diastole, which prevents normal systemic venous return. The consequence is a decrease in the stroke volume of the heart and a violation of cardiac output. According to available literature data, the most common causes of pericardial effusion in dogs

Abstract:

Pericardial effusion is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pericardial cavity. Because of the limited amount of space in the pericardial cavity, fluid accumulation leads to an increased intrapericardial pressure which can negatively affect heart function. A pericardial effusion with enough pressure to adversely affect heart function is called cardiac tamponade. Pericardial effusion usually results from a disturbed equilibrium between the production and re-absorption of pericardial fluid, or from a structural abnormality that allows fluid to enter the pericardial cavity.

Abstract:

Pericardial effusion is a common finding in clinical practice. It can present incidentally asymptomatically or as a manifestation of systemic or cardiac disease. According to its commitment, it can be classified into mild effusions, generally asymptomatic, up to cardiac tamponade, which can endanger the patient's life. Recent advances make it possible to establish the presence and assess the size of the pericardial effusion, its hemodynamic impact, and clarify the etiology. The aim of this article is to provide an update on the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to pericardial effusion.

Abstract:

Pericardial effusion or the accumulation of fluid in the pericardial sac, can result from infectious, malignant, or autoimmune processes such as systemic lupus erythematous (SLE). However, pericardial effusion is infrequently the first presentation of SLE. Here, we describe the case of a 54-year-old African American woman who presented with hypertensive emergency and was found to have pericardial effusion on echocardiogram. Her hypertensive symptoms resolved with medical management and a work up were positive for serum markers of SLE and mesothelioma cell markers (calretinin, CK 5/6) and adeno

Background Cardiovascular involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) has been reported to range from 4-78%. Complications can affect all structures of the heart, including the endocardium, myocardium, pericardium, and valves. Pericarditis is the most common manifestation, with an incidence of 11-54% in SLE patients. Pericardial effusion is often observed in patients with pericarditis, and can be confirmed by echocardiography. Objective To determine factors associated with pericardial effusion in children with SLE. Methods We conducted a restrospective cross-sectional study b

Abstract:

A positive cytology result in pericardial fluid is the gold standard for recognition of malignant pericardial effusion. Unfortunately, in 30–50% of patients with malignant pericardial effusion cytological examination of the pericardial fluid is negative. Tumor marker assessment in pericardial fluid may help to recognize malignant pericardial effusion. The aim of our study was to estimate the value of CYFRA 21-1 and CEA measurement in pericardial fluid for the recognition of malignant pericardial effusion. To our knowledge this is the first study on CYFRA 21-1 assessment in pericardial effusion

Abstract:

The best approach to treatment of pericarditis accompanied by substantial pericardial effusion in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients is unknown. In a review of our experience, we found that ESRD patients with moderate-to-large or large (circa 250 mL or larger) pericardial effusions usually failed to improve with intensive dialysis and ultimately required surgical drainage of the effusion. Multivariate analysis revealed that effusion size was by far the most important factor predicting need for surgery. Since early pericardial drainage obviates the risk of sudden tamponade, we recommend th

The etiology is multi-factorial and different techniques are used for management, including subxiphoid approaches, anterior and lateral thoracotomies, video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), and percutaneous pericardiocentesis. We evaluate the surgical management strategies for pericardial effusion and their outcomes in this systematic review.

Abstract:

Diseases of the pericardium represent a wide range of clinical syndromes that vary substantially in severity, from a benign pericardial effusion to fatal constrictive pericarditis or hemopericardium. Acute pericarditis is the most common pericardial disease, with viral and idiopathic as the most frequent etiologies. Typically, acute pericarditis can be managed as an outpatient with dual-agent therapy consisting of aspirin or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug plus colchicine and rarely requires admission. Pericardial effusions are fluid collections in the pericardial cavity. They are a common
