Pericardial Effusion

Fluid accumulation within the PERICARDIUM. Serous effusions are associated with pericardial diseases. Hemopericardium is associated with trauma. Lipid-containing effusion (chylopericardium) results from leakage of THORACIC DUCT. Severe cases can lead to CARDIAC TAMPONADE.
Also Known As:
Chylopericardiums; Effusion, Pericardial; Effusions, Pericardial; Pericardial Effusions; Chylopericardium; Hemopericardium

01/01/2021 - "Right atrial pressures reduced from 9.4 ± 5 (2-27) mmHg to 6.9 ± 2.6 (1-12) mmHg, while cardiac index increased from 2.4 ± 0.8 (0.98-4.3) to 3 ± 1 (1.1-5.3) L/min/m2 and systemic oxygen transport increased from 546.1 ± 157.9 (256.2-910.5) to 637.2 ± 191.1 (301.3-1020.2) ml/min. Echocardiographic improvement included significant reduction of pericardial effusion and inferior caval congestion at a median follow-up of 37 months. "
07/15/1993 - "Patients with pericardial effusion (groups 2 and 3) had significantly greater pulmonary artery wedge pressure and more left ventricular segments with advanced asynergy than did those in group 1. Although there were no significant differences in pulmonary artery wedge pressure and number of left ventricular segments with advanced asynergy between groups 2 and 3, group 3 had significantly greater right atrial pressure, alveolar arterial oxygen difference and incidence of high radiographic score. "
02/01/1990 - "The presence of ventricular aneurysmal motion, left ventricular segments with advanced asynergy, and alveolar arterial oxygen difference were related to pericardial effusion with a pericardial rub. "
10/01/2014 - "He showed a dramatic clinical response; his saturation went up from 60% on admission to 90% on minimal oxygen with significant improvement in his symptoms and signs of heart failure and total resolution of pericardial effusion. "
01/01/2019 - "Risk factors for poor outcome in patients with SSc who are at risk for PH were similar to others with SSc-PH and SSc-pulmonary arterial hypertension, including male sex, DLCO < 50%, exercise oxygen desaturation, and pericardial effusions. "
