Cardiac tamponade is a hemodynamic condition characterized by equel elevation of atrial and pericardial pressure, an exaggerated inspiratory decrease in systolic blood pressure (pulsus paradoxus), and hypotension. Although there are so many etiologic factors, it usually results from neoplastic, tuberculous, cholesterol, uremic pericarditis, myxedema, and parasitosis. Patients should be diagnosed and treated promtly because it is a life-threating condition. Although medical treatment may cause temporary improvement in some patients, the definite treatment is percutaneous or surgical drainage of the pericardial content.Keywords: Cardiac tamponadeTurkiye Klinikleri J Int Med Sci 2005, 1(7):35-42
