All patients had mitral regurgitation, 5 had also tricuspid insufficiency and 5 had aortic regurgitation. The degree of the valvular regurgitation was or 3 in four instances. Critical coronary arterial stenoses were discovered in 3 cases.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prevention of excessive dilation of heart especially during sudden rise in intracardiac volume e.g. acute aortic or mitral regurgitation. Intrapericardial pressure (IPP) tracks intrathoracic pressure.[brown.edu]
Thus, patients with pericarditis may be thought to have aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitation, or ventricular septal defect.[tele.med.ru]
I hope your doctor is able to find a way to resolve your breathing and chestpain issues. I know it is uncomfortable (to say the least), and worrisome for you. Once again, welcome to DC! Kathy[drugs.com]

Signs The typical auscultory finding of pericarditis is the "PericardialFrictionRub" which is observed as a high-pitched, scratching sound likely caused by the inflamed pericardial layers rubbing against one another.[pathwaymedicine.org]
This loud precordial sound, the result of air in the mediastinum, may be confused with a pericardialfrictionrub.[tele.med.ru]
The most common physical finding that helps confirm the diagnosis of pericarditis is a pericardialfrictionrub. Inflammation prevents the two layers of pericardium from easily sliding against each other with each heartbeat.[medicinenet.com]
Pericardialfrictionrub is best heard in the supine position at the end of exhalation. Hepatojugular reflux may be observed. Fluid (and hence signs) usually develop slowly with cardiac tamponade developing late as a complication.[patient.info]
A pericardialfrictionrub, caused by a swollen pericardium coming into contact with the chest wall, may be heard.[calshipleymd.com]

Abstract We report surgical management of radiation-induced massive pericardialeffusion.[jstage.jst.go.jp]
Right now, because I have another case of pericardialeffusion, my cardio and PCP have been checking into the possibility of an autoimmune disease causing it. But, I believe it was caused by my chemo.[drugs.com]
Pericardiocentesis Radiation induced pericardialeffusion can be confused with malignant pericarditis and hypothyroidism (secondary to mediastinal irradiation) induced pericarditis.[wikidoc.org]
Causes There are many causes of pericardialeffusions.[verywell.com]

Prognosis The prognosis of a pericardial effusion depends largely on the cause. With infections, inflammatory disease, or kidney disease that can be managed, the prognosis may be very good.[verywell.com]
Prognosis is strongly linked to the underlying cause but long-term survival is more likely with surgery and the best results are achieved if surgery is offered early.[patient.info]
What Is the Average Prognosis? The common prognosis for the pericardial type is poor, compared to that of peritoneal or pleural mesothelioma. Nearly 50 to 60 percent of pericardial patients pass away within six months of receiving a diagnosis.[asbestos.com]

Overview Pericarditis can be caused by both infectious and noninfectious etiologies.[pathwaymedicine.org]
Other tests are performed based on clinical suspicion of a specific etiology or to exclude certain etiologies.[brown.edu]

It brings together the pathophysiology of disease with detailed clinical guidance on diagnosis and management for the full range of childhood cancers, including aspects important in optimal supportive care.[books.google.com]
Pathophysiology Radiation exposure causes endothelial damage, capillary rupture, and platelet adhesion which initiates an inflammatory response and leads to development of adhesions between the two membranes of pericardium.[wikidoc.org]
The pathophysiology remains poorly understood, but radiation "might harm virtually all cardiac tissues and the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms may be related to micro- and macrovascular damages," they explained.[medicalphysicsweb.org]

Clear back in the 1960s, it became known that, after receiving adjuvant radiation to prevent breast cancer recurrence, quite a few women were dying of heart disease, often decades after their breast cancer diagnosis (Fajardo 2001).[marnieclark.com]
The scarring constricts the movement of the heart during each heartbeat and can prevent the heart from expanding to accept blood returning from the body after each heartbeat.[medicinenet.com]
This tissue helps to anchor the heart in place, prevents excessive movement of the heart in the chest when body position changes, protects the heart from infections and tumors that develop in and may spread from nearby tissues, and may help keep the heart[healthcommunities.com]
This can prevent your heart chambers from filling up with the right amount of blood, leading to the symptoms of heart failure. The cause of constrictive pericarditis isn’t always known.[healthline.com]
