Summary

"This comprehensive reference presents up-to-date coverage of the pericardium in health and disease, integrating recent advances in understanding normal and abnormal pericardial physiology, immunology, effusion and tamponade, and imaging methods for effusion and constriction." "Incorporating clinical, hemodynamic, investigative, and experimental work conducted by leading interdisciplinary researchers - including never-before-published reports - on the normal and diseased pericardium, The Pericardium details the clinical presentations of pericardial diseases, facilitating differential diagnosis...examines the diagnostic tools of imaging methods, such as electrocardiography, roentgenography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging...contains the latest findings on treating recurrent and incessant pericarditis...and more."--BOOK JACKET.
