Physical Signs and Medical Eponyms of Pericarditis: Inspection

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cardiovascular Eponymic Signs

Abstract

Inspection is derived from the Old French inspeccion, Latin inspectionem (a looking into) and pie root spek (to observe). Inspection is the first of the four basic tenets of the physical examination along with palpation, percussion, and auscultation and involves looking or observing. The word pericardium was first named by Galen of Pergamon (c.130 CE–c.200 CE) and is derived from the Greek preposition peri (about or around) and the word kardia (heart). Pericarditis originated from the Greek suffix -itis, a simple adjectival ending and later the genitive form of the adjective to mean inflammation of the named organ.
