Pericarditis
Inflammation of the PERICARDIUM from various origins, such as infection, neoplasm, autoimmune process, injuries, or drug-induced. Pericarditis usually leads to PERICARDIAL EFFUSION, or CONSTRICTIVE PERICARDITIS.
Pericarditis, Constrictive
Inflammation of the PERICARDIUM that is characterized by the fibrous scarring and adhesion of both serous layers, the VISCERAL PERICARDIUM and the PARIETAL PERICARDIUM leading to the loss of pericardial cavity. The thickened pericardium severely restricts cardiac filling. Clinical signs include FATIGUE, muscle wasting, and WEIGHT LOSS.
Pericarditis, Tuberculous
INFLAMMATION of the sac surrounding the heart (PERICARDIUM) due to MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS infection. Pericarditis can lead to swelling (PERICARDIAL EFFUSION), compression of the heart (CARDIAC TAMPONADE), and preventing normal beating of the heart.
Pericardiectomy
Surgical excision (total or partial) of a portion of the pericardium. Pericardiotomy refers to incision of the pericardium.
Pericardial Effusion
Fluid accumulation within the PERICARDIUM. Serous effusions are associated with pericardial diseases. Hemopericardium is associated with trauma. Lipid-containing effusion (chylopericardium) results from leakage of THORACIC DUCT. Severe cases can lead to CARDIAC TAMPONADE.
Cardiac Tamponade
Compression of the heart by accumulated fluid (PERICARDIAL EFFUSION) or blood (HEMOPERICARDIUM) in the PERICARDIUM surrounding the heart. The affected cardiac functions and CARDIAC OUTPUT can range from minimal to total hemodynamic collapse.
Cardiomyopathy, Restrictive
A form of CARDIAC MUSCLE disease in which the ventricular walls are excessively rigid, impeding ventricular filling. It is marked by reduced diastolic volume of either or both ventricles but normal or nearly normal systolic function. It may be idiopathic or associated with other diseases (ENDOMYOCARDIAL FIBROSIS or AMYLOIDOSIS) causing interstitial fibrosis.
Pericardiocentesis
Puncture and aspiration of fluid from the PERICARDIUM.
Pericardium
A conical fibro-serous sac surrounding the HEART and the roots of the great vessels (AORTA; VENAE CAVAE; PULMONARY ARTERY). Pericardium consists of two sacs: the outer fibrous pericardium and the inner serous pericardium. The latter consists of an outer parietal layer facing the fibrous pericardium, and an inner visceral layer (epicardium) resting next to the heart, and a pericardial cavity between these two layers.
Tuberculosis, Cardiovascular
Pathological conditions of the CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM caused by infection of MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS. Tuberculosis involvement may include the HEART; the BLOOD VESSELS; or the PERICARDIUM.
Suppuration
A pathologic process consisting in the formation of pus.
Cardiovascular Infections
Pathological conditions of the CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM caused by infections.
Pleurodynia, Epidemic
An acute, febrile, infectious disease generally occurring in epidemics. It is usually caused by coxsackieviruses B and sometimes by coxsackieviruses A; echoviruses; or other enteroviruses.
Myocarditis
Inflammatory processes of the muscular walls of the heart (MYOCARDIUM) which result in injury to the cardiac muscle cells (MYOCYTES, CARDIAC). Manifestations range from subclinical to sudden death (DEATH, SUDDEN). Myocarditis in association with cardiac dysfunction is classified as inflammatory CARDIOMYOPATHY usually caused by INFECTION, autoimmune diseases, or responses to toxic substances. Myocarditis is also a common cause of DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY and other cardiomyopathies.
Cardanolides
The aglycone constituents of CARDIAC GLYCOSIDES. The ring structure is basically a cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene nucleus attached to a lactone ring at the C-17 position.

Carcinoid heart disease from ovarian primary presenting with acute pericarditis and biventricular failure. (1/361)

A case is described of a 54 year old woman who had acute pericarditis with large exudative effusion accompanied by severe right and left ventricular failure. The patient was finally diagnosed with carcinoid heart disease from an ovarian carcinoid teratoma. She was treated with octreotide--a somatostatin analogue--followed by radical surgical resection of the neoplasm. At one year follow up only mild carcinoid tricuspid regurgitation remained. Only 16 cases of carcinoid heart disease from an ovarian primary have been described in literature. Moreover clinically manifest acute, nonmetastatic pericarditis and left heart failure are not considered as possible presentations of carcinoid heart disease, whatever the origin. In a recent series a small pericardial effusion was considered an infrequent and unexpected echocardiographic finding in carcinoid heart patients. One case of "carcinoid pericarditis" has previously been described as a consequence of pericardial metastasis. Left sided heart involvement is usually caused by bronchial carcinoids or patency of foramen ovale; both were excluded in the case presented.  (+info)

Primary right atrial angiosarcoma mimicking acute pericarditis, pulmonary embolism, and tricuspid stenosis. (2/361)

A 29 year old white man presented to the emergency room with new onset pleuritic chest pain and shortness of breath. He was initially diagnosed as having viral pericarditis and was treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. A few weeks later he developed recurrent chest pain with cough and haemoptysis. Chest radiography, cardiac examination, transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography pointed to a mass that arose from the posterior wall of the right atrium, not attached to the interatrial septum, which protruded into the lumen of the right atrium causing intermittent obstruction of inflow across the tricuspid valve. Contrast computed tomography of the chest showed a right atrial mass extending to the anterior chest wall. The lung fields were studded with numerous pulmonary nodules suggestive of metastases. A fine needle aspiration of the pulmonary nodule revealed histopathology consistent with spindle cell sarcoma thought to originate in the right atrium. Immunohistochemical stains confirmed that this was an angiosarcoma. There was no evidence of extracardiac origin of the tumour. The patient was treated with chemotherapy and radiation. This case highlights the clinical presentation, rapid and aggressive course of cardiac angiosarcomas, and the diagnostic modalities available for accurate diagnosis.  (+info)

One-step reverse transcriptase PCR method for detection of Borrelia burgdorferi mRNA in mouse Lyme arthritis tissue samples. (3/361)

A one-step reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) method for detection of Borrelia burgdorferi mRNA in infected C3H mice is described. This simple procedure, less prone to nucleic acid cross-contamination than the standard method, was found to be 10-fold more sensitive than a classical two-step RT-PCR assay. By using one-step RT-PCR, flagellin mRNAs were detected in synovial and heart tissues from all seven infected mice tested.  (+info)

Intrapericardial streptokinase in purulent pericarditis. (4/361)

Six consecutive children with proven purulent pericarditis were treated with pericardial irrigation with streptokinase. Mean (SD) 861 (678) ml (range 240-2000) of thick purulent fluid was drained, and five children had complete clearance of the pus within 3-8 days. One child developed intrapericardial haemorrhage with a submitral pseudoaneurysm and underwent patch closure of the neck of the aneurysm as well as anterior pericardiectomy. Follow up of 13 to 30 months revealed no pericardial constriction.  (+info)

Restrictive pericarditis. (5/361)

BACKGROUND: Pericardial thickening is an uncommon complication of cardiac surgery. OBJECTIVES: To study pericardial thickening as the cause of severe postoperative venous congestion. SUBJECTS: Two men, one with severe aortic stenosis and single coronary artery disease, and one with coronary artery disease after an old inferior infarction. Both had coronary artery bypass grafting surgery. METHODS: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), Doppler echocardiography, and cardiac catheterisation. RESULTS: Venous pressure was raised in both patients. MRI showed mildly thickened pericardium, and cardiac catheterisation indicated diastolic equalization of pressures in the four chambers. Jugular venous pulse showed a dominant "Y" descent coinciding with early diastolic flow in the superior vena cava, and mitral and tricuspid Doppler forward flow proved restrictive physiology. The clinical background suggested pericardial disease so both patients had pericardiectomy. This proved the pericardium to be thickened; the extent of fibrosis also involved the epicardium. CONCLUSIONS: Although rare, restrictive pericarditis (restrictive ventricular physiology resulting from pericardial disease) should be considered to be a separate diagnostic entity because its pathological basis and treatment are different from intrinsic myocardial disease. This diagnosis may be confirmed by standard investigational techniques or may require diagnostic thoracotomy.  (+info)

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm complicating infective pericarditis. (6/361)

Cross sectional echocardiography demonstrated a pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricular posterolateral wall close to the atrioventricular junction in a 4 year old girl with infective pericarditis complicating lobar pneumonia. Colour flow Doppler demonstrated bidirectional flow across the communication hole. Surgical resection was successful.  (+info)

Coxiella burnetii pericarditis: report of 15 cases and review. (7/361)

Q fever is characterized by its clinical polymorphism, and pericarditis associated with Q fever has occasionally been described. Herein we report 15 cases of Coxiella burnetii pericarditis, 9 from our data bank and 6 encountered within the past 12 months. Three patients presented with life-threatening tamponade. We compare our cases with the 18 previously reported and with 60 Q fever-matched controls at our center. This study showed that Q fever pericarditis can present as acute as well as chronic disease; we describe relapse after 6 months in association with a serological profile compatible with the chronic form of disease (phase I C. burnetii IgG titer of > or = 800). Discriminant factors among patients and controls are age of > 52 years (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 5.66), the occurrence of general symptoms such as arthralgias or myalgias (adjusted OR, 6.54), and a normal erythrocyte sedimentation rate (adjusted OR, 16.37). No specific symptoms or underlying cardiac predispositions are observed.  (+info)

New insights regarding the atrial flutter reentrant circuit : studies in the canine sterile pericarditis model. (8/361)

Background-We studied atrial activation during induced atrial flutter in the canine sterile pericarditis model to test the hypothesis that the atrial flutter reentrant circuit includes a septal component. Methods and Results-We studied 10 episodes of induced, sustained (>5 minutes) atrial flutter in 9 dogs. In all episodes, the reentrant circuit included a septal component. In 6 episodes, there were 2 reentrant circuits, one in the right atrial free wall and the second involving the atrial septum, Bachmann's bundle, and the right atrial free wall; both circuits shared a pathway in the right atrial free wall (figure-of-eight). The direction (superior or inferior) of the septal wave front of the second circuit correlated with the direction (clockwise or counterclockwise, respectively) of the right atrial free-wall circuit. A line of functional block in the right atrial free wall was part of both reentrant circuits. In the other 4 atrial flutter episodes, only 1 reentrant circuit was present, with activation in an inferior-to-superior direction in the septum and a superior-to-inferior direction in the right atrial free wall in 2 episodes and in the opposite direction in the other 2 episodes. In all atrial flutter episodes, the flutter wave polarity in ECG lead II was determined by the direction of activation in the left atrium; polarity was positive when the direction was superior to inferior and negative when the direction was inferior to superior. Conclusions-In this model of atrial flutter, the reentrant circuit (1) always included a septal component, (2) did not always require a right atrial free-wall reentrant circuit, (3) demonstrated figure-of-eight reentry when a reentrant circuit was present in the right atrial free wall, and (4) was associated with a line of functional block in the right atrial free wall.  (+info)

Acute Pericarditis - American Family PhysicianAcute Pericarditis - American Family Physician
Although acute pericarditis is most often associated with viral infection, it may also be caused by many diseases, drugs, invasive cardiothoracic procedures, and chest trauma. Diagnosing acute pericarditis is often a process of exclusion. A history of abrupt-onset chest pain, the presence of a pericardial friction rub, and changes on electrocardiography suggest acute pericarditis, as do PR-segment depression and upwardly concave ST-segment elevation. Although highly specific for pericarditis, the pericardial friction rub is often absent or transient. Auscultation during end expiration with the patient sitting up and leaning forward increases the likelihood of observing this physical finding. Echocardiography is recommended for most patients to confirm the diagnosis and to exclude tamponade. Outpatient management of select patients with acute pericarditis is an option. Complications may include pericardial effusion with tamponade, recurrence, and chronic constrictive pericarditis. Use of colchicine as an

Prognosis: Most patients with acute pericarditis (generally those with presumed viral or idiopathic pericarditis) have a good long-term prognosis.Cardiac tamponade rarely occurs in patients with acute idiopathic pericarditis, and is more common in patients with a specific underlying aetiology such as malignancy, TB or purulent pericarditis. Constrictive pericarditis may occur in ,1% of patients with acute idiopathic pericarditis, and is also more common in patients with a specific aetiology. The risk of developing constriction can be classified as low (,1%) for idiopathic and presumed viral pericarditis; intermediate (2-5%) for autoimmune, immune-mediated and neoplastic aetiologies; and high (20-30%) for bacterial aetiologies, especially with TB and purulent pericarditis.36 Approximately 15-30% of patients with idiopathic acute pericarditis who are not treated with colchicine will develop either recurrent or incessant disease, while colchicine may halve the recurrence rate..

Pericarditis - Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment, Medications
Pericarditis is a condition in which the sac-like covering around the heart (pericardium) becomes inflamed. A characteristics chest pain is often present. The hearts sits in the center of the chest and is surrounded by a sac called the pericardium. This sac has two layers, one that fits tightly onto the heart muscle and another looser layer surrounding the inner layer. Inflammation of these tissue layers surrounding the heart is referred to as pericarditis.. Causes of Pericarditis Pericarditis is usually a complication of viral infections, most commonly echovirus or coxsackie virus. Less frequently, it is caused by influenza or HIV infection. Infections with bacteria can lead to bacterial pericarditis (also called purulent pericarditis). Some fungal infections can also produce pericarditis. There are many causes of pericarditis. Most often the cause is unknown. In this case, the condition is called idiopathic pericarditis.. The causes of pericarditis are varied, including viral infections of the ...

The study by Imazio and colleagues addresses management of patients with recurrent pericarditis. Pericarditis may account for 5% of presentations to an emergency department for nonacute myocardial infarction chest pain, is troublesome for patients, and is difficult to treat effectively (1-3). Few studies have investigated the systematic management of recurrent pericarditis, although the use of colchicine is not new (4). In this study, patients receiving colchicine had a lower recurrence rate and better symptom relief. Although no serious side effects from colchicine occurred, about 6% of patients had diarrhea that required discontinuation of treatment. There are some obvious limitations to the study. First, because recurrent pericarditis is uncommon and the accrued sample size was small, the findings may have occurred by chance alone. Second, the study used an open-label design (acknowledged by the authors), which may increase bias, although outcome events were reviewed by an independent ...

The management of refractory recurrent pericarditis is challenging. Previous clinical reports have noted a beneficial effect of high-dose intravenous human immunoglobulins (IvIgs) in isolated and systemic inflammatory disease-related forms. In this article, we analyzed retrospectively our clinical experience with IvIg therapy in a series of clinical cases of pericarditis refractory to conventional treatment. We retrospectively analyzed 9 patients (1994 to 2010) with refractory recurrent pericarditis, who received high-dose IvIg as a part of their medical treatment. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), steroids, or colchicine treatment was not discontinued during IvIg treatment. No patients had a history of autoimmune or connective tissue diseases. During an average period of 11 months from the first recurrence, patients had experienced a mean of 5 relapses before the first IvIg treatment. In 4 cases, patients showed complete clinical remission with no further relapse after the first ...

Acute Pericarditis | DOKTORZ
Initial evaluation includes a clinical history and physical examination, ECG, echocardiography, chest radiography, and lab studies.. ECG can be diagnostic in acute pericarditis and typically shows diffuse ST elevation. The ratio of the amplitude of ST segment to the amplitude of the T wave in leads I, V4, V5, and V6 on electrocardiogram can be used to differentiate acute pericarditis (AP) from early repolarization (ER) and early repolarization of left ventricular hypertrophy (ERLVH), according to a recent study. When ST elevation was present in lead I, the ST/T ratio had the best predictive value for discriminating between AP, ER and ERLVH. The study involved 25 patients with AP, 27 with ER, and 28 with ERLVH. [1]. Echocardiography is indicated if pericardial effusion is suspected on clinical or radiographic grounds, the illness lasts longer than 1 week, or myocarditis or purulent pericarditis is suspected..

Uremic pericarditis - WikipediaUremic pericarditis - Wikipedia
Uremic pericarditis is a form of pericarditis. It causes fibrinous pericarditis. The main cause of the disease is poorly understood. Fibrinous pericarditis is an exudative inflammation. The pericardium is infiltrated by the fibrinous exudate. This consists of fibrin strands and leukocytes. Fibrin describes an amorphous, eosinophilic (pink) network. Leukocytes (white blood cells; mainly neutrophils) are found within the fibrin deposits and intrapericardic. Vascular congestion is also present. Inflammatory cells do not penetrate the myocardium (as is seen with other presentations of pericarditis), and as a result, this particular variant does not present with diffuse ST elevation on ECG (a classic sign of pericarditis known as stage I ECG changes which are seen with other causes). To naked eye examination, this pathology is referred to as having a Bread and Butter Appearance. Uremic pericarditis is correlated to the degree of azotemia in the system. BUN is normally >60 mg/dL (normal is 7-20 ...

Acute pericarditis usually occurs in the presence of more or less easily recognized infections elsewhere in the body, as with rheumatic fever, pneumococcic pneumonia, septicemia or tuberculosis, to mention the more common examples. That it may occur spontaneously and without the demonstration of any known infectious agent is not well known. Such cases have been called acute, non-specific pericarditis. The sudden onset and the severity of the chest pain may be such as to lead to the erroneous diagnosis of coronary thrombosis,1, 2, 3 or to pulmonary infarction.4.

What is Pericarditis? Types of Heart Lining InflammationWhat is Pericarditis? Types of Heart Lining Inflammation
The causes of pericarditis can be broadly divided into infectious and non-infectious. Infectious pericarditis, particularly bacterial, can progress rapidly and lead to severe complications in a short period of time. Viral pericarditis may be just as acute but depending on the virus involved, it can resolve spontaneously with minimal treatment. Other infectious causes includes tuberculosis, fungal infections and certain parasites which tends to lead to a more chronic pericarditis.. Among the non-infectious causes, the immune mediated conditions feature prominently. This includes rheumatic fever, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and scleroderma. There is often an immune component involved in other conditions like after a myocardial infarction (heart attack) known as Dressler syndrome, cardiothoracic surgery and hypersenstivity to drugs.. Other causes may include heart diseases and trauma, including a myocardial infarction with secondary inflammation of the pericardium, injury to the pericardium, ...

The frequency of pericarditis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis has been reported to range between 30-50%,1 2 but cardiac tamponade is a rare complication in such patients. The progression of cardiac tamponade caused by rheumatoid pericarditis is not necessarily due to deterioration of rheumatoid arthritis, and the prognosis of patients is very poor. However, rheumatoid pericarditis is absent from the index to the activity of disease. We report a case of cardiac tamponade caused by rheumatoid pericarditis associated with high concentrations of interleukin-6 (IL-6) in pericardial fluid.. A 60 year old Japanese woman was admitted to hospital with cardiac tamponade. The patient had been treated with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs after the initial diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (rheumatoid factor 120 IU/ml) when she was 47 years old.

Acute pericarditis usually responds to anti-inflammatory drugs such as colchicine or NSAIDs (such as aspirin and ibuprofen). The drugs can be tapered once the patients symptoms improve. Colchicine also decreases the likelihood of recurrence. If pain is very severe, an opiate such as morphine may be needed. Prednisone, a corticosteroid, is prescribed in some cases to reduce inflammation. It should not be used in persons with viral infection as it can aggravate symptoms. Prednisone also increases the chances of recurrence ...

Acute Pericarditis in Crohns Disease under Pharmacological Immunosuppression: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic DilemmaAcute Pericarditis in Crohns Disease under Pharmacological Immunosuppression: A Diagnostic and Therapeutic Dilemma
Acute pericarditis in young patients usually has a benign course. However, in those with autoimmune diseases it is mandatory to consider the risk of opportunistic infections, and of association with the underlying disease or immunomodulatory drugs. This case report aims to show possible strategies for diagnosis and treatment of this particularly complex group of patients.

In Fig 5A⇑, window 1 shows an activation wave front of the reentrant circuit at time zero. This area of zero activation time was reactivated at 100 ms. This reentrant circuit (orange) had one rotation around a central line of functional block at the right atrial appendage in a clockwise direction with a cycle length of 100 ms, and subsequently one rotation that included the superior vena cava as part of the central line of block with a cycle length of 130 ms (windows 2 and 3). Window 3 shows persistence of the reentrant circuit but with a change, ie, the line of functional block shortened. The shorter line of functional block allowed the free wall close to the right atrial appendage now to be activated from this reentrant circuit. Because of the short cycle length (80 ms) of the reentrant circuit during window 3, that area (at 170 ms) was probably still refractory, and block of the reentrant wave front at 250 ms (represented by T markers) occurred. The electrograms recorded from six sites (a ...

Dressler syndrome - WikipediaDressler syndrome - Wikipedia
Dressler syndrome is a secondary form of pericarditis that occurs in the setting of injury to the heart or the pericardium (the outer lining of the heart). It consists of fever, pleuritic pain, pericarditis and/or a pericardial effusion. Dressler syndrome is also known as postmyocardial infarction syndrome and the term is sometimes used to refer to post-pericardiotomy pericarditis. It was first characterized by William Dressler at Maimonides Medical Center in 1956. It should not be confused with the Dresslers syndrome of haemoglobinuria named for Lucas Dressler, who characterized it in 1854. Dressler syndrome was, historically, a phenomenon complicating about 7% of myocardial infarctions; however, in the era of percutaneous coronary intervention, it is very uncommon. The disease consists of a persistent low-grade fever, chest pain (usually pleuritic in nature), pericarditis (usually evidenced by a pericardial friction rub), and/or a pericardial effusion. The symptoms tend to occur 2-3 weeks ...

FSTC Newsletter Issue 5 | Muslim Heritage
Professor Rabie E. Abdel-Halim and Dr and Salah R. Elfaqih This is a study and translation of the section on pericarditis in Kitab al-taysir fi al-mudawat wa-l-tadbir (Book of Simplification Concerning Therapeutics and Diet) written by the Muslim physician Ibn Zuhr (Avenzoar) who lived and practiced in Al-Andalus between 1091-1162 CE. Ibn Zuhr described the serous type of pericarditis as well as the pathological findings in fibrinous pericarditis. His description of the latter may also fit with the picture of chronic fibrous pericarditis. He also described acute purulent pericarditis and involvement of the pericardium in cases of acute carditis with hectic fever. Ibn Zuhrs description of the pericardial effusion in serous pericarditis as looking like urine indicates that he must have seen a sample of the fluid obtained either by pericardiocentesis or during a post-mortem examination. However, his description of solid substances accumulating on the inside of the hearts covering looking like ...

Rheumatoid PericarditisReport of 17 Cases Diagnosed Clinically | Annals of Internal Medicine | American College of PhysiciansRheumatoid PericarditisReport of 17 Cases Diagnosed Clinically | Annals of Internal Medicine | American College of Physicians
Seventeen patients with rheumatoid pericarditis, diagnosed clinically, are compared with 41 cases reported in the literature and with 85 control patients with rheumatoid arthritis but without pericarditis. Rheumatoid pericarditis occurred in patients with definite or classical rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid factor, present in 93% of the patients tested, was statistically commoner than in the control group. Subcutaneous nodules were present in 47%. The presenting complaints were left-sided chest pain (59%) and symptoms of congestive heart failure (18%). A pericardial friction rub was detected in 65%. All patients had cardiomegaly, as seen by X ray, accompanied by pleural effusion in 65%. A low sugar concentration in the pericardial fluid, elevated lactic dehydrogenase and gamma globulin levels, and, probably, a low complement value indicate rheumatoid arthritis as the most probable cause of the effusion. Over one third of the pericarditis patients eventually required pericardiectomy or died of ...

Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium, the thin sac (membrane) that surrounds the heart. There is a small amount of fluid between the inner and outer layers of the pericardium. Often, when the pericardium becomes inflamed, the amount of fluid between its two layers increases, causing a pericardial effusion. If the amount of fluid increases quickly, the effusion caused can impair the ability of the heart to function properly.

First of all I would like to thank you Dr. Smith for all of you excellent posts and teachings. I am an RN and I work in Huntington, WV. It is very bothersome to me that most people immediately say pericarditis d/t age. I have personally seen a 24,26,30 year olds with true stemis unrelated to stimulants. Sadly most of the physicians in our ER would jump straight to pericarditis even after seeing young people with AMI. There have been a few instances one very recent where I begged a physician to activate the cath lab for an EKG that was transmitted to us from the volunteer fire department I am a part of. This was an obvious anterior/lateral mi with depression in inferior leads and this pt was 55 years old! So,you can imagine when a young person presents with CP and ekg changes. So,again thank you for your posts and teachings on up to date electrocardiography findings. I wish more of our physicians were like you. It makes ER work a lot easier when you arent arguing with a physician over an ekg. ...

Mortality in patients treated for tuberculous pericarditis in sub-Saharan AfricaMortality in patients treated for tuberculous pericarditis in sub-Saharan Africa
Tuberculous pericarditis is one of the most severe forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, causing death or disability in a substantial proportion of affected people.1,2 In Africa, the incidence of tuberculous pericarditis is rising as a result of the HIV epidemic.3 The effect of HIV infection on survival in patients with tuberculous pericarditis is unknown.2,4 Whereas some investigators have suggested that HIV-infected patients with tuberculous pericarditis have a similar outcome to non-infected cases,5 others have shown that there may be an increase in mortality in HIV associated with tuberculous pericarditis.2,6,7 We established a prospective observational study, the Investigation of the Management of Pericarditis in Africa (IMPI Africa) registry, to obtain current information on the diagnosis, management and outcome of patients with presumed tuberculous pericarditis living in sub-Saharan Africa, where the burden of HIV infection is the greatest in the world.4,8-10 In this paper, we report the ...

Objective: To assess the value of pericardial fluid adenosine deaminase (ADA) and pericardial lysozyme (Lys) as tools in diagnosing tuberculous pericarditis. Methods: Forty-one patients (age range 17-77 years) with significant pericardial effusion were included in the study. Diagnostic pericardiocentesis and pericardial biopsy were performed while serum and pericardial fluid ADA and Lys were measured in all patients. Grouping of patients resulted as follows: group I = 7 patients with tuberculous pericarditis; group II = patients with neoplastic pericarditis; group III = 30 patients with idiopathic pericarditis. Results: Pairwise multiple comparison procedures revealed a significant difference of ADA in group I versus group III (p | 0.05) but not versus group II. Furthermore, pericardial Lys in group I was higher than in groups II and III (p | 0.05). A strong correlation between pericardial ADA and Lys was found (r = 0.733, p = 0.01) for all the patients. Receiver operating curves showed a value of

Pericardium - WikipediaPericardium - Wikipedia
Inflammation of the pericardium is called pericarditis. This condition typically causes chest pain that spreads to the back that is worsened by lying flat. In patients suffering with pericarditis, a pericardial friction rub can often be heard when listening to the heart with a stethoscope. Pericarditis is often caused by a viral infection (glandular fever, cytomegalovirus, or coxsackievirus), or more rarely with a bacterial infection, but may also occur following a myocardial infarction. Pericarditis is usually a short-lived condition that can be successfully treated with painkillers, anti-inflammatories, and colchicine. In some cases, pericarditis can become a long-term condition causing scarring of the pericardium which restricts the hearts movement, known as constrictive pericarditis. Constrictive pericarditis is sometimes treated by surgically removing the pericardium in a procedure called a pericardiectomy.[6].

The Pericarditis in CHU of Point G and Luxembourg: Clinical Aspects and EtiologiesThe Pericarditis in CHU of Point G and Luxembourg: Clinical Aspects and Etiologies
The authors bring back 70 cases of pericarditis brought together between 2012 and 2017 in the service of surgery B of the CHU Point G and to the Hospital Mother-Child, the Luxembourg in Mali. The average age of the patients is 31.5 years with extremes of 2 years and 84 years. The tubercular etiology widely comes to mind with 49 cases. The diagnostic contributions of the echocardiography are analyzed. The accent is put on good tolerance hemodynamic of the tubercular pericarditis. The forecast depends essentially on the etiology and on the diagnostic delay; indeed the tamponade pericardium can be inaugural or complicated; the evolution of the pericarditis is burdened of a heavy mortality (4.2% in our series). On the other hand the passage in the chronicity complicates essentially pericarditis seen late (8.6% in our series).

Acute myopericarditis and exertional rhabdomyolysis, two uncommon but well-described diseases with potentially life-threatening effects, are generally considered as independent clinical entities. However, they may in fact be pathophysiologically related under certain circumstances. This is the first ever report of influenza myopericarditis provoked by exertional rhabdomyolysis to the best of our knowledge. A 25-year-old immunocompetent Chinese man presented with bilateral leg pain, dizziness, and shortness of breath on admission soon after completing vigorous training comprising running drills. Exertional rhabdomyolysis was diagnosed with 44 fold high serum creatine phosphokinase. Then he developed chest pain, pericardial effusion, changes of electrocardiography and positive troponin I suggestive of myopericarditis. Influenza A (H3N2) virus infection was confirmed by polymerase chain reaction analysis of nasopharyngeal wash samples. Other possible infective and autoimmune causes were excluded. Patient

Diagnosing tuberculous pericarditisDiagnosing tuberculous pericarditis
Background: Definitive diagnosis of tuberculous pericarditis requires isolation of the tubercle bacillus from pericardial fluid, but isolating the organism is often difficult. Aim: To improve diagnostic efficiency for tuberculous pericarditis, using available tests. Design: Prospective observational study. Methods: Consecutive patients (n=233) presenting with pericardial effusions underwent a predetermined diagnostic work-up. This included (i) clinical examination; (ii) pericardial fluid tests: biochemistry, microbiology, cytology, differential white blood cell (WBC) count, gamma interferon (IFN-γ), adenosine deaminase (ADA) levels, polymerase chain reaction testing for Mycobacterium tuberculosis; (iii) HIV; (iv) sputum smear and culture; (v) blood biochemistry; and (vi) differential WBC count. A model was developed using classification and regression tree analysis. The cut-off for the total diagnostic index (DI) was optimized using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves.

Myocardial Infarction After Dog Bite | CirculationMyocardial Infarction After Dog Bite | Circulation
To the Editor: We do not agree with the diagnosis of myocardial infarction in the case of a 36-year-old man 2 days after a dog bite1 . For several reasons, we believe that the patient had myopericarditis rather than myocardial infarction.. First, the patient had symptoms, signs, and laboratory findings consistent with sepsis, and blood cultures yielded Capnocytophaga canimorsus. Myocardial infarction occurs occasionally in patients with bacteremia, and it usually results from sepsis-associated hypotension or from endocarditis with septic embolism to the coronary arteries. However, viral and bacterial infections are more commonly the cause of pericarditis and myocarditis.2 3 ECG patterns of acute myopericarditis are known to resemble those seen with acute myocardial infarction.4 The presented ECG demonstrated ST elevations in both anterior and inferior leads in a manner consistent with the pattern found in acute myopericarditis.4 5 Second, the absence of regional wall motion abnormalities and the ...

N2 - Background: Spontaneous inspiration causes a characteristic decrease of the mitral valve (MV) and puLrnonary venous (PV) flow velocities obtained by Doppler echocardiography in patients with constrictive pericarditis (CP). This has been explained by the decrement it causes in the intrathoracic pressure. Positive pressure ventilation (PPV) causes an increment of intratlloraclc pressure with meclmnical inspiration. Therefore the pattern of respiratory variatipn produced during PPV may differ from that seen during spontaneous breathing. Objective: Our goal was to desct4be the effect of PPV on the pattern and magnitude of respiratory variation of MV and PV flow velocities in ...

These disorders differ not only in clinical presentation but also in the timeline of development, thus management of pericardial disease can be challenging for many clinicians. To assist medical professionals with this often complex area, this book provides an extensive review of pericardial disease evaluation and management in a unified, stepwise pathway-based approach. Management of Pericardial Disease contains a selection of defining clinical images to guide in identification and management of pericardial disease. Fellows, residents, cardiologists, thoracic medicine physicians, cardiothoracic surgeons, radiologists, and intensive care and emergency medicine physicians alike will find this book to be an essential resource for developing the skills and knowledge applicable to managing ...

I too have had a pericardiectomy from constrictive pericarditis. I was misdiagnosed with costochondritis for several years and finally was properly diagnosed when I went to the hospital with such sever pain. I was 27. A few months later (after MRIs and unsuccessful treatments with methotrexate and indomethecin), I was told I had some of the worse fusion the surgeon has ever seen. Approximately 3 months after the surgery, I began having pericarditis symptoms identical to the symptoms I had before. Same intensity and everything! I now suspect they didnt remove enough calcium that was fused to my heart too, or perhaps they left too much unscarred tissue behind, which continues to get inflamed. My surgery was done in 2010 at Suburban Hospital in Bethesda, MD which is part of the Johns Hopkins family. I typically have a flareup once every 6 months, which I have treated with prednisone until about 6 months ago when my flareups became more frequent. I think the prednisone caused the more frequent ...

N2 - Serositis is a rare manifestation of chronic GvHD (cGvHD). No risk factors or laboratory changes associated with this syndrome have been recognized to date, and outcomes have not been described in a large series. We searched our institutional database for patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant identified as having serositis or pericarditis. Laboratory studies from prior to diagnosis, at diagnosis and post diagnosis of serositis, as well as outcomes from invasive procedures were included. Twenty patients met criteria for cGvHD-associated serositis, and all but three patients had a prior diagnosis of cGvHD. Fifteen were male, and the complication ...

Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is a reduction in the elasticity, or stiffening, of the pericardium, a sack-like covering that surrounds the heart, resulting in impaired filling of the heart with blood. The symptoms of CP, which may include exercise intolerance, liver failure, dyspnea, and renal failure, appear insidiously and may be misleading.

Update: Adverse Events Following Smallpox Vaccination --- United States, 2003Update: Adverse Events Following Smallpox Vaccination --- United States, 2003
During March 25--31, four cases of myocarditis and/or pericarditis were identified, totaling 14 cases among approximately 250,000 personnel who received smallpox vaccination for the first time. No cases of myocarditis and/or pericarditis were identified among approximately 115,000 service members who were revaccinated. Among the approximately 365,000 vaccinated military service members, one death has been reported. The 14 patients with myocarditis and/or pericarditis ranged in age from 21 to 33 years. Severity ranged from mild (no ECG or echocardiogram changes) to severe (congestive heart failure), with onset 7 to 19 days after vaccination. All military patients were hospitalized, and all survived. As of April 2, the patient with the most severe case has been hospitalized for 6 days. All other hospitalized patients have been discharged; they have either returned to duty or are on short-term convalescent leave. Following are two cases that represent the spectrum of clinical presentations of ...

Update: Cardiac and Other Adverse Events Following Civilian Smallpox Vaccination --- United States, 2003Update: Cardiac and Other Adverse Events Following Civilian Smallpox Vaccination --- United States, 2003
During January 24--June 20, 2003, smallpox vaccine was administered to 37,802 civilian health-care and public health workers in 55 jurisdictions to prepare the United States for a possible terrorist attack using smallpox virus. This report updates information on vaccine-associated adverse events among civilians vaccinated since the beginning of the program and among contacts of vaccinees, received by CDC from the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) as of June 20. Two cases of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) were diagnosed 3 months after vaccination. For the potential relation between smallpox vaccine and DCM to be assessed, identification of additional cases of DCM among vaccinees will be essential. Physicians who treat smallpox vaccine recipients are encouraged to evaluate and report patients with symptoms compatible with DCM, including those that occur several months after vaccination. In this vaccination program, CDC, the Food and Drug Administration, and state health departments are ...

Pericardial diseases constitute pathologic processes that involve the pericardium, the pericardial sac and its contents, and the thoracic structures surrounding the heart. Cardiovascular perturbations associated with pericardial disease range from the asymptomatic electrocardiographic findings in uremic pericarditis to catastrophic circulatory collapse observed in the setting of acute hemorrhagic pericardial tamponade. The clinical features of pericardial diseases may resemble right-side failure, notably right ventricular (RV) failure and tricuspid insufficiency, but can also present as left-side failure manifesting as shortness of breath, reduced exercise tolerance, and multiorgan hypoperfusion. However, clinical management of pericardial pathology may differ significantly from that of ventricular dysfunction or valvular heart disease. As a consequence, timely diagnosis and initiation of appropriate medical or surgical therapy is imperative. This chapter deals specifically with the clinical ...

Of 25 adults with RP (21 idiopathic, 4 post-pericardiotomy, mean age 42.8 y, mean 2.6 prior recurrences, 20/25 pts on > 2 pericarditis medications), 23 completed 6 months of rilonacept treatment. One pt chose not to continue into EP, and 1 discontinued TP due to a serious adverse event (SAE). In symptomatic RP pts with CRP >1mg/dL, lower pain and CRP levels were observed after the first injection and maintained to the end of study (Fig 1). Improvement/resolution of other pericarditis manifestations (pericardial effusion, ECG changes, pericardial rub) and improvements in global physical and mental health scores were observed. No subject had pericarditis recurrence in EP, and of 12 pts on CS at baseline completing EP, 1 reduced CS dose and 10 stopped CS during EP. Two SAEs were reported: skin abscess resulting in rilonacept discontinuation and atypical chest pain; both resolved. Most common adverse events were injection site reactions, all mild and none resulting in rilonacept discontinuation ...

Figure 2: Echocardiogram did not show pericardial effusion.. Approximately 1.5 liters of nonmalignant, noninfectious inflammatory exudate was aspirated on thoracocentesis. However, the patient had multiple recurrences, with multiple thoracocenteses and similar outcomes. A pleural decortication surgery was planned. Prior to the surgery, he developed atrial fibrillation. Due to the pleuritic nature of pain and history of low-grade fever, late gadolinium-enhanced CMR imaging was ordered.. CMR Findings: Late gadolinium enhancement revealed marked enhancement of the pericardium with no enhancement of parietal or visceral pleura despite large pleural effusions (Figure 3-A), consistent with primary pericardial inflammation with secondary pleural effusions. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was 100 mm/hr. The diagnosis of primary pericarditis with secondary reactive pleural effusion was made. Steroid therapy led to near-complete resolution of pericarditis (Figure 3-B) and pleural effusions (Figure 1-B) as ...
