  2. Pericardial effusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericardial_effusion

    A pericardial effusion is an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the pericardial cavity. The pericardium is a two-part membrane surrounding the heart: the outer fibrous connective membrane and an inner two-layered serous membrane. The two layers of the serous membrane enclose the pericardial cavity (the potential space) between them. [1]

  3. Pericardial fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericardial_fluid

    In patients with ischemic heart disease there is an accumulation of angiogenic growth factors in the pericardial fluid. These contribute to angiogenesis (the formation of new blood vessels) and arteriogenesis (the increase in diameter of existing arterioles). This helps to prevent myocardial ischemia (lack of oxygen to the heart). [6]

  4. Circulatory system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circulatory_system

    When the heart relaxes, blood is drawn back toward the heart through open-ended pores (ostia). Hemolymph fills all of the interior hemocoel of the body and surrounds all cells . Hemolymph is composed of water , inorganic salts (mostly sodium , chloride , potassium , magnesium , and calcium ), and organic compounds (mostly carbohydrates ...

  5. Cardiac physiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_physiology

    Cardiac physiology or heart function is the study of healthy, unimpaired function of the heart: involving blood flow; myocardium structure; the electrical conduction system of the heart; the cardiac cycle and cardiac output and how these interact and depend on one another.

  6. Exudate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exudate

    An exudate is any fluid that filters from the circulatory system into lesions or areas of inflammation. It can be a pus-like or clear fluid. When an injury occurs, leaving skin exposed, it leaks out of the blood vessels and into nearby tissues. The fluid is composed of serum, fibrin, and leukocytes. Exudate may ooze from cuts or from areas of ...

  7. Pericardial sinus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericardial_sinus

    The transverse sinus is the tunnel-shaped passage posterior to the aorta and pulmonary trunk, and anterior to the superior vena cava. [1] [2] This sinus is clinically important because passing one end of clamp through the sinus, and the other end anterior to the aorta/pulmonary trunk will allow complete blockage of blood output.
