Roentgenograms in Pericardial Effusion
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1987To the Editor.— We appreciate the methods used by Heinsimer et al 1 in their article entitled "Supine Cross-Table Lateral Chest Roentgenogram for the Detection of Pericardial Effusion" in the June 19, 1987, issue of JAMA , but disagree with their conclusions.

Malignant Pericardial Effusion
Acta Cytologica, 2001To examine the frequency and diagnostic implications of malignant pericardial effusions.The clinical and histologic records of pericardial effusions diagnosed cytologically as malignant were reviewed. We investigated the relationship between malignancy and type of tumor, interval between diagnosis of the primary tumor and development of the pericardial

Pericardial effusion with pembrolizumab
Journal of Oncology Pharmacy Practice, 2022Introduction The treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has profoundly changed on account of the arrival of new therapies, like immunotherapy. Within this group of drugs, those aimed at the programmed cell death-1 or programmed cell death ligand-1(PD1/PDL-1) are very relevant, for example, Pembrolizumab.

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.

Pericardial effusion is classified according to its onset—acute, subacute, or chronic (>3 months)—distribution (circumferential or loculated), and haemodynamic impact. Concerning the size, we propose a simple semiquantitative echocardiographic assessment: mild (<10 mm), moderate (10–20 mm), and large (>20 mm), evaluated as the largest ...

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.

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.

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.

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.
