Your pericardium is a fluid-filled sac that surrounds your heart and the roots of the major blood vessels that extend from your heart. Conditions that affect your pericardium include pericarditis, pericardial effusion and constrictive pericarditis. Symptoms of pericardial problems include chest pain, shortness of breath and heart palpitations.

2023年11月3日 · The pericardium is the membrane that encloses the heart and the roots of the major heart vessels, consisting of an outer fibrous layer (fibrous pericardium) and an inner double serous membrane layer (serous pericardium).

2020年8月28日 · The pericardium is a fibroserous, fluid filled sack that surrounds the muscular body of the heart and the roots of the great vessels. This article will give an outline of its functions, structure, innervation and its clinical significance.

The pericardium (pl.: pericardia), also called pericardial sac, is a double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the great vessels. [1] It has two layers, an outer layer made of strong inelastic connective tissue (fibrous pericardium), and an inner layer made of serous membrane (serous pericardium).

2023年11月2日 · The pericardial cavity is a potential space between the opposing layers of the serous pericardium's parietal and visceral layer. This cavity has a fluid layer, that allows the heart to pulsate and move without friction. The fluid also …

2023年7月24日 · The pericardium is a fibrous sac that encloses the heart and great vessels. It keeps the heart in a stable location in the mediastinum, facilitates its movements, and separates it from the lungs and other mediastinal structures. It also …

Pericardial anatomy and function. The pericardium is a fibrous sac that surrounds the heart. It consists of two layers: the visceral pericardium and the parietal pericardium. The visceral pericardium is an inner serosal membrane adherent to the cardiac epicardium.

In this review, the living anatomy of the pericardial space and its surrounding structures is demonstrated using three-dimensional images and printed models. In 1996, Sosa et al. first introduced the epicardial approach for treatment of refractory ventricular tachycardia (1).

2023年10月10日 · The pericardium is a conical, flask-like, fibroserous sac which contains the heart and the roots of the great vessels and defines the middle mediastinum. The pericardium is made of two sacs in one. The outer sac is the fibrous pericardium and the inner sac is the double-layered serous pericardium.

The pericardium is a roughly flask-shaped sac that contains the heart and proximal portions of the great vessels (Fig 1).
