Pericarditis is the inflammation of the pericardium, a two-layer membrane which is the sac surrounding the heart.
paracarduim inflamation is inflamation of the paracarduim which is a thin membranic sac that surrounds and prtoects the heart.
Myocarditis is the medical term meaning inflammation of the heart muscle; my means muscle (actually mouse); cardi means heart, and -itis means inflammation. Myocarditis (my/o = muscle + cardi/o = heart + itis = inflammation), also known as Inflammatory Cardiomyopathy (path = disease (hurt) + y = process), is most often cause by virus infection. Many times it is an autoimmune reaction. It expresses itself as a mild disease without any symptoms that resolves itself, or it may cause chest pain, heart failure, or sudden death.
Inflammation of the sac around the heart is pericarditis. (Peri- = around ; -card- = heart; -itis = inflammation/infection).

The endothelium is the medical term meaning lining of the blood vessels, including those of the heart. It is continuous with the endocardium, the inner lining of the heart chambers and heart valves.
Endocarditis (endo = within + card = heart + itis - inflammation) is a reaction to trauma of the inner membrane of the heart and the heart valves. This trauma is usually due to a viral or bacterial infection or the result of toxins produced by viral or bacterial action in another part of the body. If only a heart valve is inflammed then the word would be "Valvulitis" preceded by the valve name (tricuspid valvulitis).
acute endocarditis
Pericarditis is inflammation of the sac around the heart.
This is called valvular endocarditis.
Pericardial means pertaining to the pericardium, the sac around the heart.
Cardiac auscultation is the medical term meaning listening to the heart.
Myocarditis is a disease marked by inflammation of the heart muscle (myocardium).
Myocardial infarction is the medical term meaning damage to the heart muscle.
The condition causing inflammation of heart muscles and valve lining is called Endocarditis. This is most often triggered by the bacteria streptococci or staphylococci, but fungi such as Aspergillus fumigatus can also be the cause.
