Injury of heart with haemopericardium - what does this mean
Injury of heart with haemopericardium is a condition in which there is bleeding into the pericardial sac surrounding the heart, caused by trauma, surgery, or other medical conditions. the blood accumulates in the sac, which can compress the heart and cause decreased cardiac output, shock, and even death.
What happens during the disease - injury of heart with haemopericardium
Injury of the heart with haemopericardium occurs when there is a rupture of the heart muscle, leading to a leakage of blood into the pericardial sac. this can be caused by blunt or penetrating trauma, such as a gunshot wound, or a tear in the wall of a coronary artery. this leakage of blood can lead to decreased cardiac output, increased pressure in the pericardial sac, and cardiac tamponade, resulting in decreased blood flow to the organs and tissues of the body.
