Pericardium
Fibroelastic sack made up
of visceral and parietal
layers separated by a
potential space,
pericardial cavity
► Forms a sac enclosing the
origin of the aorta,
pulmonary artery,
Pulmonary veins, venae
cavae

Categories
►
3 major categories of pericardial diseases (co-existing,
overlaping with one another):
 Pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium)
 Pericardial effusion (fluid around the heart causing clinical
presentation from asymptomatic to causing tamponade)
 Constrictive pericarditis (inelastic sac that impairs filling)

Etiology of pericardial Diseases
IX.
Idiopathic pericarditis
Infectious (viral, bacterial, Mycoplasma, fungal, parasitic)
Vasculitis/connective tissue disease (lupus, RA, scleroderma, MCTD,
Wegener’s, PAN, sarcoid, IBD, Whipple’s, GCA, Behcet’s)
Hypersensitivity/immunopathies
Diseases of contiguous structures (post-infarction/early, Dressler’s,
myocarditis, dissecting aortic aneurism)
Disorders of metabolism (hypothyroidism, uremia, ovarian
hyperstimulation syndrome)
Trauma (blunt, penetrating, iatrogenic)
Neoplasms (mets, primary, paraneoplastic)
Other (congenital)

Acute Pericarditis: Clinical Presentation
►
Symptoms
►
Signs
 Left precordial chest pain
(pleuritic, worsens with
recumbency; relieved with
leaning forward, sudden onset)
 Fever
 Malaise, myalgias
 Symptoms of systemic illness,
depending on the etiology
 Pericardial friction rub (easier
to hear in an absence of an
effusion):
► Three phases: correspond
to
movement of the heart during
atrial systole ventricular
systole, and in the rapid filling
phase of early ventricular
diastole
 serum biomarkers for
myocardial injury: related to
the extent of myocardial
inflammation
 Elevated WBC, CRP

EKG changes
► Stage I- diffuse PR depression, ST elevation
except in avR and v1 (the typical pericarditis
EKG).
► Stage II- (several days later) PR and ST segments
normalized, T wave becomes flat.
► Stage III- diffuse T wave inversion
► Stage IV- resolution (several days to weeks)

Echocardiography
Acute pericarditis is a clinical diagnosis.
► Echocardiogram is often normal in patients with
acute syndrome unless it is associated with a
pericardial effusion
► Finding of a pericardial effusion in a patient with
known or suspected pericarditis supports the
diagnosis, the absence of a pericardial effusion or
other echocardiographic abnormalities does not
exclude it
► Do not need to order it unless you suspect
substantial pericardial effusion.

Identifying the Cause
► In Western countries, most cases of acute
pericarditis in immunocompetent patients that
are not associated with apparent medical or
surgical conditions are due to viral infection
(entero-, echo-, adenoviruses; CMV, EBV, HSV,
influenza, parvo, HCV, HIV) or are idiopathic
► A full diagnostic evaluation is not appropriate in
all patients

Management
For symptom relieve:
• NSAIDs- indomethacin 25-50mg PO TID or
ibuprofen 600-800mg PO TID for 3 weeks
 Cholchicine- 1mg/d for 3 weeks
 Steroids- less preferred, patient’s symptoms often
rebound when steroids are withdrawn. If neededprednisone 40-60mg PO qd x 3wks

Complications
► Recurrent in 20-30% of the cases.
► Infrequently, can progress to tamponade or
constriction.
► None of the medical therapy has been
vigorously proven to prevent complications.

Pericardial effusion
► Can be asymptomatic or present as life-threatening
cardiogenic shock (tamponade). Can also present in
between the above two polar opposites.
► Symptoms occur when increase in pericardial fluid
raises the intrapericardial pressure and impairs
diastolic filling.
► The presenting syndrome depends on the:
 Volume (bigger worse)
 rate of accumulation (faster worse)
 Characteristic (thicker worse)

Cardiac Tamponade
► Tamponade is at one extreme of the of the syndrome
and is characterized by:
 Progressive increase in intrapericardial pressure first
becoming equal to the RV then later the LV filling pressures
(equalization of diastolic pressure)
 Continual elevation of intracardiac filling pressure.
 Impairment of diastolic filling
 Lack of filling leads to fall in cardiac output.
 At first, the body compensates through tachycardia and
vasoconstriction. As the syndrome progresses, this
mechanism becomes inadeqaute and shock ensues.
 Needs to be treated by urgent pericardiocentisis.

cardiac output and high
filling pressure.
 Mental status changes
 Dypsnea

Echocardiography in cardiac tamponade
► Visualizes the effusion
► Impairment of diastolic filling causes the cardiac
chambers to be “squashed”
 1st RA collapse (lowest pressure chamber, more sensitive,
less specific)
 2nd RV collapse (fairly specific)
 False negative in the presence of substantial pulmonary
hypertension.
► variation in mitral and tricuspid
inflow.
► Ultimately, cardiac tamponade is a clinical diagnosis
though echocardiogram is very useful in this setting

Constrictive Pericarditis
►
►
►
Typically, long delay between onset of constriction and
pericardial inflammation
Common etiologies includes radiation, TB…etc. Although
many pericardial diseases can lead to constriction.
Presents with R>L sided failure symptoms
 Insidious symptoms at first, followed by dypsnea with exertion,
orthopnea, edema…etc.
►
Diagnosed by a combination of
► Echocardiography (pericardium,
filling patterns, interventricular
dependence…etc)
► chest CT/MRI (better at defining pericardium)
► RHC (gold standard for hemodynamic assessment)
►

constriction

2008
Fibrosed or calcified pericardium restricts
diastolic filling of all 4 chambers
constriction leads to elevated and equilibrium
of the diastolic pressures
In early diastole filling is unimpaired =>
abnormally rapid filling
filling is abruptly halted when cardiac volume
meets the limits determined by the stiff
pericardium
Virtually all filling occurs during early diastole
