PERICARDIAL EFFUSION IN HYPOTHYROIDISM
Clinical Endocrinology, 1980SUMMARYThirty‐nine patients with untreated hypothyroidism have been examined using echocardiography for the presence of a pericardial effusion. Effusions were present in twelve patients who tended to be more severely hypothyroid. Plasma creatine phosphokinase and lactate dehydrogenase levels were higher in the presence of an effusion.

The Electrocardiogram and Pericardial Effusion
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1966The electrocardiogram can play a significant role in suggesting or supporting the diagnosis of pericardial effusion. In common with most other lesions, pericardial effusion leaves no pathognomonic imprint on the tracing but produces three signs that are highly suggestive: low voltage, ST-segment elevation, and electrical alternans. Electrical alternans,

Pericardial Effusions in Sarcoidosis
Chest, 1979A case of sarcoid pericarditis is presented. The associated pericardial effusion was a transudate with a low complement level. Investigating the prevalence of pericardial effusions in sarcoid by echocardiography, we found small effusions in 19 percent of 48 consecutive patients with sarcoid.

Echocardiography in pericardial effusion
The American Journal of Medicine, 1977Echocardiography has become established as the procedure of choice for the detection, confirmation and serial follow-up of patients with pericardial effusion. In this article the technic and pitfalls of recording, and the criteria and their sensitivity for the diagnosis of pericardial effusion are reviewed.

Pericardial Window for Malignant Pericardial Effusion
The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, 1980Seventeen patients with malignant pericardial effusion were treated by the creation of a pericardial window. This was done through a subxiphoid approach in 13 patients and through limited anterior thoracotomy or sternotomy incisions in 4. There were no deaths and no major complications attributable to the operation.

Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2000
Pericardial effusions accompany a number of clinical conditions. The challenges facing the clinician when dealing with a pericardial effusion include assessing the urgency of draining the effusion, choosing the right approach for drainage, determining the mechanics of the effusion, and establishing a cause for the effusion.

Pericardial windows or pericardiocentesis for pericardial effusions
American Heart Journal, 1971Abstract The hospital records of 20 patients admitted to Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas with pericardial effusion during the four-year period of 1966 to 1969, and who underwent pericardiocentesis and percutaneous open pericardial windows, were reviewed. The etiologies of the effusions were as follows: purulent pericarditis (5), hypertensive and

Pericardial effusion and tamponade
Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine, 1999Pericardial effusion may occur as a result of a variety of clinical conditions, including viral, bacterial, or fungal infections and inflammatory, postinflammatory, autoreactive, and neoplastic processes. More common causes of pericardial effusion and tamponade include malignancy, renal failure, viral and bacterial infectious processes, radiation ...

Pericardial Effusion in a Dog with Pericardial Hemangiosarcoma
Journal of Veterinary Cardiology, 2019An adult Jack Russel terrier dog presented for evaluation of large-volume peritoneal and pleural effusion. Echocardiography revealed scant pericardial effusion and abnormally thickened pericardium. Electrocardiography revealed complete atrioventricular block with junctional and ventricular escape beats and occasional ventricular premature complexes ...
