Although the pericardium is simply a 2-layered membrane enveloping the heart and great vessels, there are numerous anatomic variations, congenital anomalies, and pathologic conditions that can occur. Although echocardiography is most often the first imaging modality used to assess the pericardium, computed tomography and MR imaging are frequently being used to aid in diagnosis and assess response to therapy. Therefore, detailed knowledge of the pericardium in both its normal and diseased states is important to best direct patient care and potentially improve patient outcomes.
虽然心包只是一层包裹心脏和大血管的双层膜，但仍会出现许多解剖变异、先天性异常及病理状况。虽然超声心动图通常是用于评估心包的首选成像方式，但计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像也经常用于辅助诊断及评估治疗反应。因此，全面了解心包的正常及病变状态，对于最佳指导患者护理及潜在改善患者预后至关重要。
