Cardiac tamponade

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2023
Cardiac tamponade is a medical emergency caused by the progressive accumulation of pericardial fluid (effusion), blood, pus or air in the pericardium, compressing the heart chambers and leading to haemodynamic compromise, circulatory shock, cardiac arrest and death.

Cardiac Tamponade

Surgical Clinics of North America, 1975
Cardiac tamponade is an insidious and often fatal complication which can occur on any service, in many diseases, and at any age. The increasing pressure within the pericardium prevents ventricular filling and depresses cardiac output, coronary and systemic perfusion, and venous return.

Cardiac tamponade

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2011
To re-emphasize the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiac tamponade.Cardiac tamponade is a cause of obstructive shock. Incidence of cardiac tamponade is poorly documented. In cardiac tamponade, the pericardial pressure may reach 15-20  mmHg, leading to an equalization of pressures into the cardiac chambers and to a huge ...

Cardiac Tamponade

Cardiology Clinics, 1990
Hemodynamic abnormalities induced by pericardial effusion can be categorized by stages. During phase I, pericardial and left and right ventricular pressures are elevated but not equilibrated, and cardiac output is not compromised. During phase II, elevated pericardial and right ventricular filling pressures are equilibrated with each other but not with

Pneumopericardium with cardiac tamponade

Emergency Medicine Journal, 2011
A 39-year-old man with a history of oesophageal cancer, status post-concurrent chemoradiation therapy, underwent subtotal oesophagectomy with gastric tube reconstruction for 1 year. He was bought to our emergency department due to acute dyspnoea with chest tightness. Physical examination revealed hypotension (85/60 mm Hg), distension …

Cardiac Tamponade on the Edge

Echocardiography, 2015
Mini‐AbstractLow‐pressure cardiac tamponade is an uncommon phenomenon in the spectrum of pericardial diseases. We describe a case of a 37‐year‐old man with recurring admissions for dyspnea whose clinical picture challenged the classic exhibition of cardiac tamponade.

Malignant cardiac tamponade

Acta Cardiologica, 2013
Malignant pericardial effusion is a frequent complication in primary mediastinal and pleural malignancies. As a first manifestation of a malignant tumour, however, it is rare. With cardiac tamponade the likelihood of malignancy increases. We report a life-threatening cardiac tamponade as the primary clinical presentation of a pericardial mesothelioma ...

Iatrogenic Cardiac Tamponade

Archives of Surgery, 1971
Percutaneous myocardial biopsy and ventricular perforation during cardiac catheterization may produce acute cardiac tamponade. Compression of the heart results from hemorrhage and the osmotic attraction of effusion from the intrapericardial dye or blood. Prompt recognition and early surgical intervention is emphasized.

Acute Cardiac Tamponade

New England Journal of Medicine, 1991
Acute cardiac tamponade is life threatening and requires prompt pericardial drainage. This review explains the manifestations of tamponade, including a presentation in which the diagnostic finding of pulsus paradoxus is absent, and variant forms, such as low-pressure tamponade and regional tamponade.
