Interatrial septal defect and pericardial disease

摘要: Abstract Four patients of our own observation and 63 cases from the literature were reviewed, illustrating association IASD pericardial effusion, adhesion, or constriction. In three four patients, disease had assumed dimensions clinical importance intensified progressive cardiac decompensation. One patient was particular interest because unusual persistence a friction rub which has been present for now five years. Pericardial appears to be relatively common in IASD, as occasionally indicated literature, it is probably more frequent than chance relationship could account for. We have suggested that right atrial enlargement chronic elevation intra-atrial pressure may play an important, yet ill-defined role genesis effusion. Recurrent pulmonary infections, conditions with augmented blood flow, rheumatic heart provide opportunity pericarditis develop. This important factor. Chronic disease, especially mitral tricuspid incompetence stenosis, frequently seen suses reviewed; this relate supposed mechanisms linking disease. The condition considerable its recognition essential successful management well-planned surgical intervention.
