The imaging in pericarditisRuolo dell'imaging nelle malattie del pericardio Ketty Savino Cardiologia e Fisiopatologia Cardiovascolare – Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria di Perugia Abstract Le malattie del pericardio sono patologie frequenti e la diagnosi per immagini è un momento cruciale per intraprendere il trattamento più idoneo e per monitorare la malattia. Le pericarditi vengono accuratamente diagnosticate dall'ecocardiografia che visualizza la presenza, l'estensione e l'entità del versamento, può fornire informazioni sulla sua natura, studia le ripercussioni emodinamiche sulle camere Parole chiave: Pericarditi; Ecocardiografia; Tomografia computerizzata; Risonanza magnetica cardiaca. Abstract Pericardial diseases are frequent illnesses. The imaging is important for disease's diagnosis, treatment and monitoring. Pericardial diseases are accurately diagnosed by echocardiography. This toll shows the presence, location and size of pericardial effusion, can provide information on its nature, studies the hemodynamic effects, leads to pharmacological treatment, and monitors the disease's evolution. In most cases, only the echocardiography is used for both diagnosis and clinical and therapeutic management. In some cases, however, other diagnostic techniques such as CT and/or CMR, are needed. This review, based on current scientific knowledge and recent guidelines, analyzes the role of these techniques in the diagnosis and management of pericardial diseases. Knowledge of the pathophysiological and clinical scenarios of pericarditis, the appropriate use of imaging, allows for management of pericardial patients. Key words: Pericarditis; Echocardiography; Computed tomography; Cardiac magnetic resonance. |
