Blood pressure
Blood pressure (BP) is the pressure of circulating blood on the walls of blood vessels.

Cancer
Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body.
New!!: Pericardial effusion and Cancer · See more »
Cardiac surgery
Cardiac surgery, or cardiovascular surgery, is surgery on the heart or great vessels performed by cardiac surgeons.
New!!: Pericardial effusion and Cardiac surgery · See more »
Cardiac tamponade
Cardiac tamponade, also known as pericardial tamponade, is when fluid in the pericardium (the sac around the heart) builds up, resulting in compression of the heart.

Coxsackievirus
Coxsackievirus is a virus that belongs to a family of nonenveloped, linear, positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses, Picornaviridae and the genus Enterovirus, which also includes poliovirus and echovirus.

CT scan
A CT scan, also known as computed tomography scan, makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray measurements taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional (tomographic) images (virtual "slices") of specific areas of a scanned object, allowing the user to see inside the object without cutting.

Dopamine agonist
A dopamine receptor agonist is a compound that activates dopamine receptors.

Dressler syndrome
Dressler syndrome is a secondary form of pericarditis that occurs in the setting of injury to the heart or the pericardium (the outer lining of the heart).

Electrical alternans
Electrical alternans is an electrocardiographic phenomenon of alternation of QRS complex amplitude or axis between beats and a possible wandering base-line.

Empyema
An empyema (from Greek ἐμπύημα, "abscess") is a collection or gathering of pus within a naturally existing anatomical cavity.

Ewart's sign
Ewart's sign is a set of finding on physical examination in people with large collections of fluid around their heart (pericardial effusions).

Fluid
In physics, a fluid is a substance that continually deforms (flows) under an applied shear stress.
New!!: Pericardial effusion and Fluid · See more »
Heart
The heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system.
New!!: Pericardial effusion and Heart · See more »
Heart failure
Heart failure (HF), often referred to as congestive heart failure (CHF), is when the heart is unable to pump sufficiently to maintain blood flow to meet the body's needs.
New!!: Pericardial effusion and Heart failure · See more »
Heart sounds
Heart sounds are the noises generated by the beating heart and the resultant flow of blood through it.
New!!: Pericardial effusion and Heart sounds · See more »
Hypothyroidism
Hypothyroidism, also called underactive thyroid or low thyroid, is a disorder of the endocrine system in which the thyroid gland does not produce enough thyroid hormone.
New!!: Pericardial effusion and Hypothyroidism · See more »
Infection
Infection is the invasion of an organism's body tissues by disease-causing agents, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to the infectious agents and the toxins they produce.

Kidney failure
Kidney failure, also known as end-stage kidney disease, is a medical condition in which the kidneys no longer work.

Metastasis
Metastasis is a pathogenic agent's spread from an initial or primary site to a different or secondary site within the host's body; it is typically spoken of as such spread by a cancerous tumor.
