Pericarditisis a disorder of the pericardium in which the pericardium becomes swollen or inflamed. This inflammation disrupts normal heart function. Pericarditis can be acute (happens suddenly and over quickly) or chronic (happens over a period of time and lasts for a long time). Some causes of ...

and sympathetic nerve, then through regulating nerve fluids, the relevant chemicals are produced and the functions of zang-fu system are regulated finally[17]. No matter whether in view of the theory ofTCM, or on the basis of modern anatomy and physiology, it is concluded that back-shu ...
The macro- and microphysiology and anatomy of the pericardium were reviewed in a synoptic, concise manner, and the current understanding of pericardial function was outlined. By accurately displaying pericardial thickening, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging proved to be decisive ...
Thus the pericardium is a relevant structure for cardiac surgery and in this article the function, anatomy, physiology and embryology of the pericardium as well as clinical applications are described.Beyersdorf, C.Albert Ludwigs UnivChrist, B....

When the human embryo is 1.5 mm. long the rudimentary heart may be seen as an aggregation of mesoblastic cells in the caudal portion of its upper pole. The paired pericardial cavities arise concurrently at the same site (Fig. 1). The development of the c
