Hemopericardium

Hemopericardium (Greek `αιμα + περικάρδιον`) is an accumulation of blood between the pleural layers of the pericardium in the cavity of the pericardial sac (pericardium). In fact, it is a rarer type of hilum. Only one of the pericardial cavities is filled with bloody effusion and mixes with the fluid located there. When hemopericardium occurs due to injury to the heart, blood accumulates in systole and enters the pericardial cavity, pushing and displacing the heart in the opposite direction. Hemopercardium does not exist in a healthy body; it always occurs as a result of the impact of some kind of aggression on the body. Let us highlight two main risk factors for hemopericardium: - blow (including blow from the inside). Injuries from falling and trying to escape during extreme incidents are the main cause of the development of hematocele. In addition, it is often diagnosed inside the chest, which complicates its recognition and treatment due to the immediate danger to humans; - injuries received as a result of a back impact during a collision between two vehicles (rollover). In addition, there is also a tendency of some people to effusion of blood into the cavity of the pericardium. Also in such cases, a connection is noted between problems with the intracardiac cavity and anomalies of the pericardial-respiratory system. The presence of hemopericardium often occurs in people whose pulse rate reaches almost 4
