A member asked:
What do heart failure and pericarditis have in common?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Poor heart pumping: Pericarditis, by preventing the heart from moving properly, may result in worsening heart failure. This can be corrected by relieving fluid accumulation or, in some cases, by opening or removing the pericardium.
