Study Notes
Pericarditis and Cardiomyopathy Overview
- Lipomas are usually asymptomatic and do not cause obstructions
- Papillary fibroelastomas are localized on heart valves
- Causes of pericarditis include infections, immun-mediated reactions, and other factors like neoplasia and trauma
- Pericarditis can be classified according to clinicopathologic findings, inflammatory changes, and fluid accumulation
- Fibrinous/serofibrinous pericarditis is the most frequent type, often caused by myocardial infarction or uremia
- Purulent or suppurative pericarditis is characterized by invasion of infective organisms and thin creamy pus
- Hemorrhagic pericarditis is mainly composed of blood and may be caused by tuberculosis or malignant neoplastic involvement
- Caseous pericarditis is rare and mainly caused by tuberculosis
- Adhesive mediastinopericarditis follows suppurative or caseous pericarditis, previous cardiac surgery, or radiation
- Constrictive pericarditis results in limitation in diastolic expansion and restriction in cardiac output
- Heart failure can result from several physiologic mechanisms, including the Frank-Starling mechanism and myocardial adaptations
- Left sided heart failure is commonly caused by ischemic heart disease, hypertension, and valvular diseases, leading to pulmonary congestion and edema, while right sided heart failure is often caused by left-sided heart failure and presents with peripheral congestion and edema
