Cardiology Clinics, 2017
Cardiac tamponade is caused by an abnormal increase in fluid accumulation in the pericardial sac, which, by raising intracardiac pressures, impedes normal cardiac filling and reduces cardiac output, sometimes dramatically so. This article outlines the pathophysiology, clinical features, and treatment of this important clinical condition highlighting ...

Pericardial effusion, a common cardiac manifestation of myxedema,1,2is rarely associated with cardiac tamponade; to our knowledge, only 19 reports of this phenomenon appear in the English literature.3-7In all reported cases, identification of tamponade was largely derived from clinical and echocardiographic examination, and available hemodynamic data ...

Pericardial effusions are frequently found in myxedema and , when present, are asymptomatic and usually of no hemodynamic consequence. We report a patient with ascites and pericardial effusion due to myxedema who developed cardiac tamponade following abdominal paracentesis.

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.

Pneumopericardium with cardiac tamponade
Emergency Medicine Journal, 2011A 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 …

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.

Pathophysiology of Cardiac Tamponade
Chest, 1998C ardiac tamponade is always life threatening and nearly always requires urgent and precise therapeutic intervention. It is perhaps unique in that appreciation of its pathophysiologic state is essential to precise diagnosis and rational treatment. Since the 19th century, investigations in experimental animals provided a basic understanding that has ...

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.

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 ...
