1 gru 2021 · The pericardium of the human heart has received increased attention in recent times due to interest in the epicardial approach for cardiac interventions to treat cardiac arrhythmias refractory to conventional endocardial approaches.
3 lis 2023 · The pericardium is the membrane that encloses the heart and the roots of the major heart vessels, consisting of an outer fibrous layer (fibrous pericardium) and an inner double serous membrane layer (serous pericardium).
2 lis 2023 · The pericardial cavity is a potential space between the opposing layers of the serous pericardium's parietal and visceral layer. This cavity has a fluid layer, that allows the heart to pulsate and move without friction. The fluid also serves to diminish surface tension and provide lubrication.
Between the visceral pericardium (epicardium) and the subjacent myocardium is an inconstant amount of epicardial fat (most prominent in the atrioventricular and interventricular grooves and right ventricular [RV] free wall) that contains the coronary arteries and veins, nerves, and lymphatics.
The pericardium has one layer made of fibrous tissue and one made of serous tissue. Its function is to lubricate the moving surfaces of the heart, and in this video, the anatomy of the pericardium will be discussed in detail.
1 sty 2014 · The pericardium is a sac-like covering around the heart and the attachments of the blood vessels to the heart (Fig. 1.1). The pericardium serves several functions for the heart which include shielding the heart from physical and biologic insults, promotion of efficient cardiac function, and limitation of excessive movement of the heart.
Discover the structure and function of the heart, a vital organ that pumps blood throughout the body. Learn about its four chambers, and its protective sac, the pericardium.
