Q

Acute Pericarditis

A

Acute pericarditis is most often of viral origin
It may occur in several forms:
less thn 2 weeks duration
increased capillary peremeability
Serous pericarditis :
slowly accumulating exudates - 50 to 200 ml of
produced by nonbacterial involvement RHD, LES, tumours, uremia and primary viral infection (Coxsackie).
inflammatory reaction in the epicardial and pericardial surfaces - scant numbers of PMN, lymphocytes, and macrophages

Q

Fibrinous and serofibrinous pericarditis

A

the most frequent type of pericarditis
causes: acute MI, the postinfarction (Dressler) sdr. and cardiac surgery
the surface is dry, with a fine granular roughening
an increased inflammatory process  thicker fluid, yellow and cloudy owing to leukocytes and erythrocytes
exudate may be completely resolved or be organized causing adhesive pericarditis

Q

Purulent or Suppurative Pericarditis

A

due to bacteria (Staphylococci, Streptococci, and Pneumococci), fungus or parasitic infection.
by direct extension, by hematogenous or lymphatic route from the neighbouring areas of infection (pneumonia, subphrenic abscess)
thin to creamy pus - 400 to 500 ml
erythematous, granular serous surfaces
may produce mediastinopericarditis

Q

Progression of myocardial necrosis after coronary artery occlusion

A

Necrosis begins in a small zone of the myocardium.
This entire region of myocardium (shaded) depends on the occluded vessel for perfusion and is the area at risk.

The end result of the obstruction to blood flow is necrosis of the muscle that was dependent on perfusion from the coronary artery obstructed.

Nearly the entire area at risk loses viability. The process is called myocardial infarction, and the region of necrotic muscle is a myocardial infarct.
