The implications of this case are 3-fold: first, we present here, to the best of our knowledge, the first case of spontaneous bacterial pericarditis caused by nonencapsulated H influenzae occurring in ...

Bruch and colleagues [1] recently reported the interesting results of an important new study. They concluded that the QRS voltage associated with pericardial effusion was diminished only in patients ...

This ECG occurred in the setting of a large pericardial effusion causing cardiac tamponade. The pericardial effusion dampens the electrical signal on the ECG causing low voltage to be present (see Low ...

IT has been known for many years that uremic pericarditis has the most unfavorable prognosis of all the various clinical manifestations of chronic renal disease. 1 That pericardial effusion may result ...

After treating cardiac tamponade arising from atrial fibrillation (Afib) catheter ablation, pericardial drains do not need to be kept in place for an additional 12 to 24 hours, researchers suggested.
