peer agreement (net): +1| très fin décollement very slight (area of) separation Explanation: http://besancon-cardio.org/cours/44-pericard.php 3.2 - L'échographie permet aussi d'apprécier d'une façon semi-quantitative l'importance de cet épanchement liquidien. Physiologiquement, il existe un décollement virtuel des deux feuillets péricardiques en systole, (ce décollement correspond au liquide intra-péricardique physiologique). L'épanchement est dit mineur lorsque le décollement péricardique est inférieur à 1 cm. L'épanchement est dit de moyenne abondance lorsque le décollement est compris entre 1 et 2 cm d'épaisseur. Enfin l'épanchement est considéré comme très volumineux lorsque le décollement est supérieur à 2 cm d'épaisseur. Ces épanchements sont rarement bien tolérés. Il peut exister à ce stade des signes de compression des cavités droites. Dans certains cas, l'aspect du coeur est très particulier, hyperkinétique semblant flotter au sein de cet épanchement liquidien majeur, réalisant l'aspect de "Swinging heart". http://www.echoincontext.com/int2/skillI2_10.asp Pericardial Effusion One of the applications that first brought echocardiography to the general attention of clinicians was its unique ability to detect pericardial effusion. It remains the most sensitive technique for the detection of this disorder. Around the heart there exists a potential cavity between the visceral and parietal layers of the serous pericardium, into which the heart is invaginated during its development. There is normally a little fluid in this cavity that acts as a lubricant for heart movement, but the two layers of the serous pericardium essentially remain in contact. However, if the amount of fluid increases as a result of exudate from the pericardium, hemorrhage or the inadvertent infusion of fluid, the two layers become more widely separated. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 hrs (2007-08-23 07:26:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- very slight separation of the pericardial layers very small (minimal) area of separation |
