| | Circadian Acupuncture, a quick look at pericardium meridian |
 | | Note: The Pericardium Meridian is also commonly referred to as the "Heart Constrictor" Meridian and the "Circulation-Sex" Meridian | | | Emotionally, pericardium energy is related to the loving feelings associated with sex, thereby linking the physical and emotional aspects of sexual activity. | | | Without the pericardium to protect it, the heart would be subject to injury from the radical fluctuations in energy caused by every emotional up and down of the day. |

| | People who have cancer may respond to chemotherapy or radiation therapy, but often, the pericardium is surgically removed. | | | The pericardium helps keep the heart in position, prevent the heart from overfilling with blood, and protect the heart from being damaged by chest infections. | | | The reason is that the pericardium can stretch gradually, so that cardiac tamponade may not occur. |

| | PERICARDIUM |
| | The mechanical role of the pericardium is in holding the heart in position, preventing over-dilatation of the heart, facilitating the hemodynamic interdependance of the ventricles and providing a barrier between the heart and other thoracic structures. | | | Other points of fixation of the pericardium are the sternum and adjacent structures such as esophagus and spine. | | | Most commonly an absent pericardium is congenital or a result of cardiac surgery. |

| | Ten patients with congenital defects of the pericardium were treated in Departments of Cardiac Surgery, Silesian School of Medicine in Zabrze and Katowice between 1989 and 1998. | | | Between 1952 and 1991, 15 Mayo patients were found to have partial or complete absence of the pericardium at the time of a cardiovascular surgical procedure. | | | Indeed, th e chest X-ray showed some features, considered patognomonic for congenital absence of the pericardium (levoposition of the heart, lung interposition between the diaphragm and the base of the heart and between the aorta and pulmonary artery). |

| | NEIGUAN (Pericardium-6) |
| | Neiguan is one of the 365 classical acupuncture points, located on the forearm portion of the short pericardium meridian that has a total of only nine standard points (see Figures 1 and 2). | | | The most frequent application of neiguan stimulation, however, is as an adjunctive point to a number of acupuncture formulas, for which it has many uses aside from treating either cardiac disorders or nausea/vomiting. | | | guan has the same implication, with connection from the triple burner meridian to the pericardium meridian. |

| | CHEST: Effect of opening the pericardium on right ventricular hemodynamics during cardiac surgery |
| | Because of this intimate anatomic and functional relationship, changes in pressure volume relationships in one ventricle produce concomitant changes in the geometry and compliance characteristics of the opposite ventricle.[3-7] Interaction between ventricles is mediated through the interventricular septum or by the restraining influence of the pericardium. | | | This interaction occurs both during systole and diastole of the cardiac cycle.[8,9] In all experiments dealing with cardiac chamber interaction during various interventions, ventricular interdependence was magnified by the pericardium.[10] [TABULAR DATA OMITTED] | | | However, in both groups of patients, RV end-diastolic volume and RV end-systolic volume increased following surgical incision of the pericardium. |

| | See Pericardium (Zang) for a description of the pericardium according to the Zang Fu theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. | | | The serous pericardium is deep to the fibrous pericardium. | | | Excessive amounts of fluid may lead to cardiac tamponade by physically blocking the heart from beating properly or compression of the great vessels of the heart. |

| | The nerves of the percardium are derived from the vagus and phrenic nerves, and the sympathetic trunks. | | | The serous pericardium is, as already stated, a closed sac which lines the fibrous pericardium and is invaginated by the heart; it therefore consists of a visceral and a parietal portion. | | | —Although the pericardium is usually described as a single sac, an examination of its structure shows that it consists essentially of two sacs intimately connected with one another, but totally different in structure. |

| | Pericardium |
| | The pericardial attachments maintain the heart in its normal position and are so arranged that external forces exerted on the pericardium by respiration or changes in body posture tend to cancel each other and maintain a constant heart position. | | | The function of the pericardium is to limit or prevent acute pathological distension of the heart once the pericardial reserve volume has been used up and the pericardium is stretched. | | | It does not cover the left atrium, which lies anterior to the pericardium. |
