Hydropericardium

Hydropericarditis is a rare disease that affects the heart sac and accumulates fluid in it. Although it can have a variety of symptoms, its main symptoms are swelling or tenderness around the heart, as well as difficulty breathing and severe shortness of breath. Hydropericartitis usually occurs in people over 50 years of age, men and women equally, but can also appear at a younger age.

Typically, hydropericarditis begins to manifest itself suddenly and acutely, without any obvious cause. Pain in the chest area may appear from time to time, and then intensify and last for hours, days or even weeks, depending on the stage of the disease. Sometimes the pain can be so intense that it appears as unbearable pain in the chest or heart. Other symptoms of hydropericardia are difficulty breathing, decreased air flow into the lungs, pallor or cyanosis, panic, cough, other heart complaints or pneumonia, high pulse

Hydropericardium is the accumulation of fluid between the layers of the outer wall and in the pericardial cavity. It is also called hydrothorax, pericardial hydrops, cardiac ascites, and even hydrothoraxitis. The cause of hydropericardium may be inflammation of the pericardium.

Hydropericardium is a rare and relatively unstudied disease. Hydropericardium is the accumulation of a large amount of serous fluid in the pericardial sac due to a decrease in the tone of its walls or an increase in hydrostatic pressure in the circulatory system

Pathogenesis. A complication of rupture of the deoxyribonucleic acid membrane connecting the sac and the right atrium and formed by the elastic elements of the lining of the heart is the spontaneous outflow or rupture of lymph - water (25-30 ml) into the sac with the formation of hydropericardium (sometimes with noise). The traumatic pericardium moves away, opening up the hole between the inflamed organ
