"Ring around the heart" typically refers to a condition known as pericardial effusion, where fluid accumulates in the pericardial sac surrounding the heart. This can be caused by various factors, including infections, inflammatory diseases, trauma, or cancer. The excess fluid can lead to increased pressure on the heart, affecting its ability to function properly. Symptoms may include shortness of breath, chest pain, or palpitations.
