Abstract
The presentation of pericardial disease can be unusual, and what is assumed to be pericardial disease may not be. Knowing pericardial and mediastinal anatomy is vital for understanding these unusual presentations. This review focuses on the history, physical examination, and fundamental diagnostic testing, integrated with pericardial and mediastinal anatomy and pathophysiology.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine (CCJM) is to provide its readers with up-to-date, practical, clinical information relevant to internal medicine, cardiology, and related fields. Consistent with this mission, CCJM focuses on timely review articles and other content that has a continuing-education orientation rather than on original research or case reports. CCJM authors, drawn from Cleveland Clinic and other top medical institutions throughout the world, are asked to identify new findings that are changing the practice of medicine and to advise readers how to apply them in daily patient care. Authors are chosen for their experience, acquired through caring for patients, teaching other physicians, and researching clinical questions.
