2004 DEC 7 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- A recent review focused on cardiac tamponade, constrictive pericarditis, and restrictive cardiomyopathy.

According to the review published in the journal Current Problems in Cardiology, "The pericardium envelopes the cardiac chambers and under physiological conditions exerts subtle functions, including mechanical effects that enhance normal ventricular interactions that contribute to balancing left and right cardiac outputs. Because the pericardium is non-compliant, conditions that cause intrapericardial crowding elevate ...
