Abstract:
The quantity and the quality of the pericardial fluid (PF) were investigated in patients after cardiosurgery and thoracic surgery. The quantity of the pericardial fluid was described independent of the disease and dependent on the age of the patient. The behaviour of the concentration of the immunoglobulins was verified as independent of the illness. A passive distribution mechanism of the observed parameters in the pericardial fluid was discussed.
