Pericardial disease: current diagnosis and management methods.

W A Schiavone, T W Rice

    Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine
    |September 1, 1989
    PubMed
    Summary

    Pericardial diseases, often secondary, mimic common cardiac conditions and are challenging to diagnose. Advanced imaging techniques like MRI and echocardiography aid in identifying various pericardial conditions for effective management.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Radiology
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Pericardial diseases present with varied onset and can be primary or secondary to systemic conditions or therapies.
    • These conditions often mimic more common cardiac diseases, complicating diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • Four case presentations highlight the utility of advanced diagnostic methods for pericardial diseases.
    • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is effective for diagnosing congenital absence of the pericardium.
    • Echocardiography and computed tomography (CT) aid in identifying pericardial cysts.

    Findings:

    • Echocardiography, particularly Doppler echocardiography, assists in diagnosing cardiac tamponade and constrictive pericarditis.
    • Recently developed imaging modalities significantly improve diagnostic accuracy for pericardial conditions.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of pericardial diseases is crucial for appropriate management.
    • Understanding pathophysiology, natural history, and patient-specific factors is key for effective therapeutic strategies.
