Causes Pericarditis is usually a complication of viral infections, most commonly echovirus or cocksackie viruses. Less frequently, it can be caused by influenza or HIV infection. Infections with bacteria can lead to bacterial pericarditis (also called purulent pericarditis). Some fungal infections can also produce pericarditis. In addition, pericarditis can be associated with systemic diseases such as autoimmune disorders rheumatic fever tuberculosis , cancer, leukemia, kidney failure , HIV infections, AIDS and hypothyroidism.

Pericarditis can be caused by bacterial, fungal, or viral infections such as rheumatic fever, polio, and tuberculosis. Pericarditis can occasionally occur 1 - 3 days following a Heart Attack (myocardial infarction). The pericardium overlying the heart muscle that has died becomes inflamed. What are the symptoms of Pericarditis? The symptoms include: Flu like illness Fever Aches and pains. Chest pain can develop which is worsened by breathing in and relieved by sitting up and leaning forward. How is Pericarditis diagnosed? Signs of a raised temperature or fever Pericardial rub can be heard using a stethoscope by the doctor. Electrocardiogram (ECG) will show some characteristics of pericarditis.

The surface of the heart with hemorrhagic pericarditis demonstrates a roughened and red appearance. Hemorrhagic pericarditis is most likely to occur with metastatic tumor and with tuberculosis (TB). TB can also lead to a granulomatous pericarditis that may calcify and produce a "constrictive" pericarditis.

Cardiac Diseases Pericarditis What is Pericarditis? Pericarditis is an inflammation of the pericardium, the membrane forming the outer covering of the heart. The inflammation causes a thickening and roughening of the membrane and an accumulation of fluid in the sac surrounding the heart. What Causes Pericarditis? Most pericarditis in this country is caused by a viral infection. The disease also may be caused by bacteria, fungi, or parasites. In the past and among people from certain parts of the world, TB is a common cause of pericarditis. There is also a noninfectious pericarditis; causes include disease of the underlying heart muscle, injury, and other diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus erythematosus, or kidney failure. Cancer radiation therapy to the chest also can cause pericarditis. How is Pericarditis Diagnosed? Most mild to moderate pericarditis goes undetected from lack of symptoms. In the more severe cases, the most common symptom is pain or discomfort on the anterior chest, which may extend to the left side of the chest and to the left shoulder. The pain often becomes worse with a deep breath and is relieved when sitting or leaning forward. When the doctor listens to the heart and chest with a stethoscope, a grating sound can be heard, caused by a rubbing of the roughed pericardium surfaces with each heartbeat. Pericarditis can be a difficult diagnosis to make. Electrocardiogram, chest x-ray, and echocardiogram may be normal. Additional tests, such as blood cultures, skin tests, or tests on the fluid in the sac surrounding the heart, may help determine the cause of pericarditis.

Inflammation of the pericardium. Diagnosis Pericarditis What is pericarditis? Pericarditis is an inflammation ofthe lining sac (pericardium) which surrounds the heart. It canbe associated with a collection of fluid (pericardial effusion)in the space between the heart and the pericardium. Pericarditisaccounts for approximately 1 in 1,000 hospital admissions. Itis found in about 5% of patients at autopsy. This implies thatmany cases of pericarditis occur without symptoms severe enoughto come to medical attention. What causespericarditis? In most patients with pericarditis, no specific cause can be found, and the condition is termed idiopathic pericarditis. Scientists now believe that many cases of idiopathic pericarditis are probably due to undiscovered viruses, such as the common cold virus, which infects and damages the pericardium. Specific diseases known to cause pericarditis are listed below.These diseases damage the pericardium, thereby triggering thebody's immune defenses to attack the pericardium tissue and causepericarditis. These diseases include:

Additional Information General Description New Jersey Resources Recommended Web Sites Patient Education ... PubMED Search Pericardial disease affects the pericardium, which is the flexible two-layered sac that envelops the heart. The pericardium helps keep the heart in position, prevent the heart from overfilling with blood, and protect the heart from being damaged by chest infections. However, the pericardium is not essential to life; if the pericardium is removed, there is little measurable effect on the heart's performance. Normally, the pericardium contains just enough lubricating fluid between its two layers for them to slide easily over one another. There is very little space between the two layers. However, in some disorders, extra fluid accumulates in this space (called the pericardial space), causing it to expand. Rarely, the pericardium is missing at birth or has defects, such as weak spots or holes. These defects can be dangerous because the heart or a major blood vessel may bulge (herniate) through a hole in the pericardium and become trapped. In such cases, death can occur in minutes. Therefore, these defects are usually surgically repaired; if repair is not feasible, the whole pericardium may be removed. Other diseases of the pericardium may result from infections, injuries, or spread of cancer.
