Would an increase in contractility cause an increase to cardiac output?
Yes - an increase in contractility would lead to an increase in stroke volume. An increased stroke volume would cause an increased cardiac output.
Does schistosomiasis cause pericarditis?
Schistosomiasis is primarily known for causing various complications related to the liver, intestines, and urinary tract, but it is not commonly associated with pericarditis. However, in rare cases, schistosomiasis can lead to cardiac complications, including potential involvement of the pericardium, particularly in chronic infections. These instances are not typical and would generally be considered atypical manifestations of the disease. Therefore, while it is possible, schistosomiasis is not a direct or common cause of pericarditis.
Can ankylosing spondylitis cause pericarditis?
It is difficult to say what causes what, but AS can be associated with pericarditis or vice versa.
Are there any positive treatments for pericarditis besides steriods?
The treatment obviously depends of the cause of pericarditis.

What is the leading cause of pericarditis in young people?
In young adults, pericarditis is usually caused by HIV infection or a trauma injury.
What are possible abnormal results of a pericardiocentesis?
A large volume of pericardial fluid (over 50 ml) indicates pericardial effusion. Fluid analysis can find the cause of pericarditis. The presence of blood indicates bleeding, cardiac rupture or cancer.
Which viruses can cause pericarditis?
Includes those that cause influenza, polio, and rubella (German measles ).
Can pericarditis cause infection or trauma?
Pericarditis itself is typically an inflammation of the pericardium, the membrane surrounding the heart, and is often caused by viral infections, autoimmune diseases, or post-surgical complications. While it can result from infections, such as viral or bacterial infections, it does not directly cause infections or trauma. However, the inflammation associated with pericarditis can lead to complications, including the potential for infectious pericarditis if pathogens invade the pericardial space. Trauma can also lead to pericarditis, but it is not a direct result of the condition itself.
Which inflammatory diseases can cause pericarditis?
Rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus.
Do reductions in Venus return cause reductions in both stroke volume and cardiac output?
Yes, reductions in Venus return can lead to decreases in both stroke volume and cardiac output. When venous return decreases, less blood is available for the heart to pump out, resulting in decreased stroke volume (amount of blood pumped per beat) which in turn leads to reduced cardiac output (amount of blood pumped per minute).
What are the most common causes of pericarditis in children?
In children, the most common viruses that cause pericarditis are the adenovirus and the cocksackievirus (which is most likely to affect children during warmer weather).
