This image is from a patient with malignant pericardial effusion. The effusion is seen as an echo-free region to the right of the left ventricle (LV)... Echocardiography may identify features that suggest hemodynamically significant cardiac tamponade; however, this is a clincial (not echocardiograph...

Apericardial effusionis diagnosed based on the echocardiographic finding of an echo-lucent area around the heart. Pericardial effusions are usually circumferential, with fluid filling the entire pericardial space around the right andleft ventricles, although pericardial effusions may also be asymmetric due...
With more and more extreme premature and very low-birth weight babies being resuscitated, umbilical central venous catheterisation is now being used more frequently in neonatal intensive care. One of the life-threatening complications is pericardial effu
Pericardial Diseases: International Position Statement on New Concepts andAdvances in Multimodality Cardiac Imaging The spectrum of pericardial disorders encompasses pericardial inflammation, effusion, constriction, masses, and congenital anomalies.MMI plays important an...

For example, a hydrogel with high swelling ability could potentially cause tamponade and pericardial effusion. Priority should be given to biocompatible, biodegradable, low swelling, conformable, and relatively soft hydrogels. iPC injection of therapeutics can be performed in humans in a way similar to...
Cardiac tamponade is the phenomenon of hemodynamic compromise caused by a pericardial effusion. Following a myocardial infarction, the most common causes of pericardial fluid include early pericarditis, Dressler's syndrome, and hemopericardium secondary to a free wall rupture. On transthoracic echocardiograp...
CONCLUSIONS: Echo-guided pericardiocentesis has a high success and low complication rate in current practice. Among etiologies, malignancy remains the most common cause of clinically significant pericardial effusion and is associated with a poor prognosis....

In the cohort of patients were selected: patients with 鈮 1.0 cm of PE on echocardiography and patients without effusion on echocardiography. ECG parameters were evaluated by two cardiologists blinded for the presence or absence of PE. Echocardiographic images were reviewed by an expert echocardiogr...
