15 cze 2024 · PE is associated with malignant conditions or severe cardiac disease but may also be observed in healthy individuals. This study explored the prevalence, determinants, course, and prognostic relevance of PE in a population‐based cohort.
Atar and colleagues present a picture of symptoms, signs (including pulsus paradoxus), ECG abnormalities, and imaging abnormalities that reflect contemporary experience, as do their mortality statistics: patients with malignancy-related effusions died within months, excepting those with lymphomata, while patients with iatrogenic and idiopathic ...
Pericardiocentesis was performed twice, but cardiac tamponade progressed. At necropsy, 800 mL of hemorrhagic fluid was present and the pericardia were diffusely thickened and covered by fibrin deposits and blood clots. (a) Exterior view of the heart anteriorly. (b) Longitudinal section of the heart. The pericardial space over the left ventricle ...
Cardiac magnetic resonance shows acute inflammation with a thickened pericardium on black-blood images (arrow), pericardial enhancement on T2 short-tau inversion recovery (STIR) and delayed hyperenhancement (DHE) images (arrow). Triple therapy was intensified and anakinra introduced.
The pericardium, although not critical for survival, has several important functions including: limiting acute dilatation of the heart and excessive cardiac motion within the chest; optimising cardiac shape; balancing right and left sided ventricular outputs via diastolic and systolic interactions (ventricular coupling); and preventing spread of...
24 kwi 2024 · A blood clot in the heart's chambers isn't the same type of emergency but requires treatment to prevent complications. This article will discuss the types of blood clots that can happen in the heart, symptoms to look for, and treatment considerations.
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.
