Cardiac tamponade occurs when a pericardial effusion exerts a significant amount of pressure externally on the heart, resulting in impaired right ventricular filling eventually causing decreased ...

Auenbrugger’s sign is an epigastric bulge due to a large pericardial effusion extending subxiphoid. Compression of this bulge may cause hemodynamic compromise and cardiac tamponade. Physical ...

The rate of pericardial effusion in oral minoxidil adverse event reports were relatively low and were independent of the dose received.

The clinical diagnosis of acute pericarditis is based on simple criteria: typical chest pain, pericardial friction rub (Figure 2), widespread ST-segment elevation (Figure 3) and pericardial ...

Evaluation of left ventricular systolic function. Evaluate for presence of pericardial effusion and suggestive findings of cardiac tamponade. Compare right versus left side cardiac chamber sizes.

and about the same number of patients developed cardiac tamponade in both groups. The researchers recommend that doctors stop prescribing NSAIDs post-surgical pericardial effusion because they ...

But the extra fluid in a pericardial effusion can lead to cardiac tamponade. Cardiac tamponade occurs when the fluid buildup puts so much pressure on the heart that it can’t function properly.

and those who present with a new large pericardial effusion or cardiac tamponade. Cytology and tumor markers (carcinoembryonic antigen, α-feto protein, cancer antigen [CA] 125, CA 72–4 ...
