Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening condition. Accurate diagnosis and prompt intervention are necessary to prevent adverse outcomes. Clinical features of tamponade such as pulsus paradoxus, tachycardia, elevated jugular venous pressure, and hypotension are important clues to the diagnosis, but are non...
Thirty patients with primary cardiac compression due to constrictive pericarditis, lax effusion, or cardiac tamponade and an additional seven patients with spurious evidence of cardiac compression or with pericardial effusion playing an unimportant role in the circulatory disorder were studied. Rather stringe...

The procedure for identification of pulsus paradoxus is discussed in Chapter 13 (see Box 13-9). In certain clinical conditions, the pulsus paradoxus is obvious and can be clearly seen on an arterial waveform. It can be used as a clinical diagnostic test in a patient with cardiac tamponade, ...
The pericardial cavity, however, cannot hold more than 0.6 liters without adversely affecting heart function, leading to cardiac tamponade. Types of effusions From the point of view of cytopathology, effusions may be non-neoplastic (secondary to collagen diseases, circulatory...

This chapter will be devoted primarily to a discussion of the hemodynamic changes that occur in acute cardiac tamponade in conscious individuals and to an evaluation of newer noninvasive diagnostic methods and their limitations. Our understanding of newer noninvasive diagnostic methods and their ...
Here, we discuss a case of a 36﹜ear﹐ld female with hemorrhagic pericardial effusion presenting with cardiac tamponade and psammoma bodies which was suspected and reported as metastatic papillary carcinoma of thyroid on cytomorphology; however, the immunocytochemical and radiological features confirmed ...
