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 the heart's ability to function properly. What causes pericarditis? In children, pericarditis is most likely to occur following surgery to repair congenital (present at birth) heart defects or acquired heart disease. However, other causes may include the following: infection (viral, bacterial, fungal, parasitic) chest trauma or injury connective tissue disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) What are the symptoms of pericarditis?

//var DOCUMENTGROUP=''; //var DOCUMENTNAME=''; //var ACTION=''; Heart Information Center Pericarditis The pericardium is a thin, sac-like covering (a membrane) that surrounds your heart. The outer layer of the pericardium surrounds the roots of your heart's major blood vessels. Ligaments attach this layer to your spinal column, diaphragm, and other parts of your body. The inner layer of the pericardium is attached to the heart muscle. A coating of fluid separates the two layers of membrane, letting the heart move as it beats, yet still be attached to your body. Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium. When pericarditis occurs, the amount of fluid between the two layers of the pericardium increases. This increased fluid presses on the heart and restricts its pumping action. What causes pericarditis? Pericarditis occurs most often in men between the ages of 20 and 50 years old. In most cases, the cause of pericarditis is unknown, but it can result from A viral, bacterial, or fungal infection.

Abstract from The Cochrane Library , Issue 1, 2003 Click here to order the full review Interventions for treating tuberculous pericarditis (Cochrane Review) Mayosi BM, Ntsekhe M, Volmink JA, Commerford PJ ABSTRACT A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 17 June 2002. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Tuberculous pericarditis - tuberculosis infection of the pericardial membrane (pericardium) covering the heart - is becoming more common. The infection can result in fluid around the heart or fibrosis of the pericardium, which can be fatal. Objectives: In people with tuberculous pericarditis, to evaluate the effects on death, life-threatening conditions, and persistent disability of: (1) 6-month antituberculous drug regimens compared with regimens of 9 months or more; (2) corticosteroids; (3) pericardial drainage; and (4) pericardiectomy. Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Infectious Diseases Group trials register (June 2002), the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (Issue 2, 2002), MEDLINE (1966 to June 2002), EMBASE (1980 to May 2002), and checked the reference lists of existing reviews. We also contacted organizations and individuals working in the field. Selection criteria: Randomized and quasi-randomized controlled trials of treatments for tuberculous pericarditis.

Facility Information DeWitt Comm Hosp Genesis Medical Ctr Illini Hospital Genesis Health Grp VNA Pericarditis Cardiac tamponade occurs when fluid collects in the pericardial sac between the heart and the surrounding pericardium. A medical emergency, cardiac tamponade deprives the body of oxygen and requires immediate treatment. (Illustration by Electronic Illustrators Group.) Definition Pericarditis is an inflammation of the two layers of the thin, sac-like membrane that surrounds the heart. This membrane is called the pericardium, so the term pericarditis means inflammation of the pericardium. Description Pericarditis is fairly common. It affects approximately one in 1,000 people. The most common form is caused by infection with a virus. People in their 20s and 30s who have had a recent upper respiratory infection are most likely to be affected, along with men aged 20-50. One out of every four people who have had pericarditis will get it again, but after two years these relapses are less likely. The viruses that cause pericarditis include those that cause influenza polio , and rubella (German measles ). In children, the most common viruses that cause pericarditis are the adenovirus and the cocksackievirus (which is most likely to affect children during warmer weather).
