| 1. | If it ruptures on the free wall, it will cause cardiac tamponade.
|
| 2. | But many patients display diastolic collapse and do not suffer cardiac tamponade.
|
| 3. | Pulmonary embolism and cardiac tamponade are considered forms of obstructive shock.
|
| 4. | Here it can cause right-sided heart failure, arrhythmias, pericardial effusion, and cardiac tamponade.
|
| 5. | Patients with cardiac tamponade and hemodynamic compromise should have emergency pericardiocentesis.
|
| 6. | This state of affairs, called cardiac tamponade, sometimes kills the patient within minutes.
|
| 7. | The medical signs classically associated with acute cardiac tamponade are collectively called Beck's triad.
|
| 8. | A large cardiac tamponade will show as an enlarged globular-shaped heart on chest x-ray.
|
| 9. | A pericardial effusion with enough pressure to adversely affect heart function is called cardiac tamponade.
|
| 10. | Beck is also credited with describing the physiological basis for the signs of acute cardiac tamponade.
