CT findings of right ventricular wall flattening, pericardial thickening, and a large pericardial effusion significantly increase the likelihood of tamponade. In this study, the majority of patients diagnosed with HSPE by CT did indeed have tamponade by standard echo criteria. Although not a useful ...
