fibrosepericardium
Fibrosepericardium, commonly referred to as fibrosing pericarditis, is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the pericardium—the double-layered sac surrounding the heart. The pericardium consists of an inner visceral layer directly adhering to the heart and an outer parietal layer, with a thin fluid-filled space between them. In fibrosing pericarditis, persistent inflammation leads to excessive fibrous tissue formation, thickening the pericardium and restricting its normal function.
The exact cause of fibrosing pericarditis remains unclear, though it may arise spontaneously or follow an acute
Diagnosis typically involves clinical evaluation, imaging studies like echocardiography or computed tomography (CT), and sometimes pericardial
Prognosis varies depending on the extent of pericardial involvement and underlying causes. Early intervention improves outcomes,
