Abstract

Pericarditis, pericardial effusion, and cardiac tamponade are conditions that affect the pericardium in either isolation or association with systemic disease. The clinical presentation of these diseases are classic and should be easily recognized. Pericardiocentesis can be diagnostic and therapeutic (and potentially life-saving).
