1 gru 2021 · The anatomy of the pericardial space, however, is extremely difficult regions to visualize. This is due to its complex 3-dimensionality, and the “potential” nature of the space, which becomes obvious only when there is collection of pericardial fluid.
24 lip 2023 · The pericardium consists of two layers: the fibrous and the serous. The fibrous pericardium is a conical-shaped sac. Its apex is fused with the roots of the great vessels at the base of the heart. Its broad base overlies the central fibrous area of the diaphragm with which it is fused.
