Active clinical trials for "Pericarditis"

The primary aim of this study is to determine the clinical and radiographic findings with constrictive pericarditis in the adult congenital population and determine the degree of right heart failure and dilation from pulmonary insufficiency in the presence of constrictive pericarditis The secondary aim is to elucidate ways to better diagnose constrictive pericarditis and elucidate ways to diagnose right heart failure in the presence of constrictive pericarditis.

A total of 11 patients confirmed with tuberculous pericarditis were enrolled in this study to analyze the diagnostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT for tuberculous pericarditis.

To determine normal T1 and T2 values of the liver, and to assess the impact of age and gender To determine the relation between markers of right heart decompensation and T1/T2 values of the liver in patients with pulmonary hypertension, patients with dilated cardiomyopathy, and patients with constrictive pericarditis (or constrictive physiology) To determine inter/intra-observer reproducibility for liver T1/T2 assessment To test/develop multi-feature texture analysis for T1/T2 analysis of the liver and implement machine learning to derive indicative features (MR-derived measures only vs combined with other clinical readouts)

The purpose of this registry is to study the natural history of vaccination-related myocarditis and pericarditis and to assess possible risk factors for these conditions. Primary Objective: - To document the natural history of confirmed, probable, suspected, and subclinical myocarditis and pericarditis (myopericarditis) following ACAM2000® vaccination. Other Pre-defined Objective: - To look for potential predictive factors for the prognosis of myopericarditis following ACAM2000® vaccination.

This study will evaluate the effect of deep breathing manoeuvres on inter ventricular interdependency physiology. By providing further insight in this basic physiology we want to add more comprehensive data in favor or not of constrictive pericarditis diagnostic criteria currently used in cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

Study of noise generated by military-type aircraft and equipment maintenance in relation to non-auditory effects that impact with the body of the crew and ground staff can cause cardiac pathologies Hypothesis of work: The pilots and the technical personnel of maintenance that work before the exhibition of noise generated by planes hunt F-16, or equipments of maintenance of the same ones, present major risk of a cardiac affectation, which demonstrates in changes in the normal pace of the heart, in his function of bomb or in hemodynamic conditions.

The pericardium is a double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the great vessels. The pericardial sac has two layers, a serous visceral l layer (also known as epicardium when it comes into contact with the myocardium) and a fibrous parietal layer. It encloses the pericardial cavity, which contains pericardial fluid. The pericardium fixes the heart to the mediastinum, gives protection against infection and provides lubrication for the heart. Pericardial diseases may be either isolated disease or part of a systemic disease Diseases of the pericardium present clinically in one of several ways Acute and recurrent pericarditis Pericardial effusion without major hemodynamic compromise Cardiac tamponade with cardiac compromise Constrictive pericarditis
