Back to Previous Image URBANA ATLAS OF PATHOLOGY Image Number 105 - Heart, pericarditis, acute, purulent An exudate is an inflammatory extravascular fluid that has a specific gravity greater than 1.020 and contains a large amount of protein and cellular debris. This pericardial exudate is seen with pericarditis and is often called "bread and butter" pericarditis due to its appearance. Purulent is synonymous with suppurrative and implies a non-viral etiology. Click for image To Next Image To Table of Contents To Alphabetical Index To Start

Pericarditis can be caused by bacterial, fungal, or viral infections such as rheumatic fever, polio, and tuberculosis. Pericarditis can occasionally occur 1 - 3 days following a Heart Attack (myocardial infarction). The pericardium overlying the heart muscle that has died becomes inflamed. What are the symptoms of Pericarditis? The symptoms include: Flu like illness Fever Aches and pains. Chest pain can develop which is worsened by breathing in and relieved by sitting up and leaning forward. How is Pericarditis diagnosed? Signs of a raised temperature or fever Pericardial rub can be heard using a stethoscope by the doctor. Electrocardiogram (ECG) will show some characteristics of pericarditis.

Preview : Diseases of the pericardium, primarily acute pericarditis, are common in primary care. Many cases of acute pericarditis have a benign infectious origin and are self-limited. However, serious causes, including tuberculous and neoplastic diseases, should be considered. In this article, Drs Ross and Grauer highlight the more common causes to consider and review the clinical presentation, evaluation, and treatment of acute pericarditis. Ross AM, Grauer SE. Acute pericarditis: evaluation and treatment of infectious and other causes. Postgrad Med 2004;115(3):67-75 A cute pericarditis is a syndrome caused by inflammation of the pericardium (the sac that encloses the heart and great vessels). The pericardium is composed of two layers: a fibrous outer layer called the parietal pericardium and a serous inner layer called the visceral pericardium. The two layers are attached by connective tissue and separated by up to 50 mL of pericardial fluid (1).

Chapters at Harrison's ABSTRACT Background pericardial syndrome characterized by concomitant tamponade, caused by tense pericardial effusion, and constriction, caused by the visceral pericardium. We conducted a prospective study of its clinical evolution and management. Methods pericarditis were prospectively evaluated. Combined pericardiocentesis and cardiac catheterization were performed in all patients, and pericardiectomy was performed in those with persistent constriction. Follow-up ranged from 1 month to 15 years (median, 7 years). Results A total of 1184 patients with pericarditis were evaluated, 218 of whom had tamponade. Of these 218, 190 underwent combined pericardiocentesis and catheterization. Fifteen of these patients in the study. All patients presented with clinical tamponade; however, concomitant constriction was recognized in only seven patients. At catheterization, all patients had elevated intrapericardial

Other characters Pericarditis, viral, acute inflammation of the pericardium caused by a virus. The viruses that most frequently cause acute pericarditis are Coxsackie B and echovirus 8. It is likely that most cases of acute pericarditis have a viral aetiology either recognized or unrecognized. Less frequent viral agents responsible for pericarditis are mumps, influenza, infectious mononucleosis, poliomyelitis, varicella, rubella, hepatitis B, cytomegalovirus and human immunodeficiency (AIDS) virus. A systemic illness or upper respiratory infection precedes by several days or a few weeks the onset of pericarditis. Acute pericarditis is heralded by chest pain. The diagnosis of viral pericarditis is supported by a greater than fourfold rise in serial neutralizing viral antibody titres. Chest X-ray is frequently normal but may show a large cardiac silhouette or increase in the silhouette over several days as a consequence of pericardial effusion. Echocardiography is usually performed to document pericardial effusion in patients with suspected viral pericarditis and to indicate the complication of pericardial tamponade . CT and MRI can also demonstrate the presence and volume of pericardial effusion. CBH The Encyclopaedia of Medical Imaging Volume V:2 Contacts GE Healthcare Making Waves

This sac is called the pericardium. This inflammation can cause a build-up of fluid, blood, or pus that can cause the sack to squeeze the heart. This squeezing makes the heart's job of pumping blood difficult. Symptoms include: chest pain fatigue and shortness of breath Pericarditis can be caused by a wide range of things, including: viral or bacterial infections cancer rheumatic fever systemic diseases certain medications or injury to the heart People often confuse pericarditis with a heart attack because the symptoms are similar. If left untreated, pericarditis can be very serious and even fatal. However, current therapies are very effective in curing the disorder. Pericarditis is treated with medications to reduce the inflammation and fluid buildup and to relieve pain. Bed rest is important until the condition has been controlled. Sometimes surgery is necessary to cut a window in the sac to allow it to drain.

Organizations Definition Pericarditis is an inflammation (irritation and swelling) of the pericardium, the thin sac that surrounds the heart. Extra fluid that builds up between the two layers of the pericardium restricts the heart’s action. Causes The cause of pericarditis is often unknown. However, possible causes include: Viral, bacterial, or fungal infection Heart attack Inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus Cancer that has spread from a tumor near the heart Kidney failure Injury or surgery affecting the chest, esophagus (food pipe), or heart Radiation treatment Certain medications used to suppress the immune system Risk Factors A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition. Risk factors for pericarditis include: Weakened immune system that is not able to fight off infections and other diseases Any of the causes listed above Symptoms Chest pain is a common symptom of pericarditis, especially over the left side or center of the chest. Sometimes it spreads to the neck and left shoulder. It is usually a sharp, stabbing pain. Deep breathing or lying down may worsen the pain. Sitting up may lessen it. Other symptoms may include:

Pericarditis What is pericarditis? 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. When the pericardium becomes inflamed, the amount of fluid between its two layers increases, compressing the heart and interfering with its ability to function properly. What are the symptoms of pericarditis? The following are the most common indicators of pericarditis. However, individuals may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: chest pain that: can especially be felt behind the breastbone, sometimes felt beneath the clavicle (collarbone), neck, and left shoulder. is a sharp, piercing pain over the center or left side of the chest that increases if the person takes a deep breath. a low-grade fever pain when swallowing arrhythmias (irregular heart beats) The symptoms of pericarditis may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Consult a physician for diagnosis. What causes pericarditis?
