Disease relevance of Cardiac Tamponade

• Prospective comparison of the sclerosing agents doxycycline and bleomycin for the primary management of malignant pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade [1].
• Combined rapid infusion of saline solution and dobutamine infusion has a more beneficial hemodynamic effect and may be more effective than rapid saline infusion alone in resuscitating patients with hemorrhagic cardiac tamponade due to cardiac rupture [2].
• Pericarditis and cardiac tamponade in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis [3].
• The causes of death were as follows: infections, 34; infarctions, 11; malignant neoplasms, 8; pulmonary emboli, 7; gastrointestinal ulcers, 7; hemorrhages, 6; thromboses, 3; amyloidosis, 1; genetic hemochromatosis, 1; and cardiac tamponade, 1 [4].
• OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of an intravenously administered synthetic epoprostenol analog, iloprost, in nonocclusive acute mesenteric ischemia induced by cardiac tamponade [5].

High impact information on Cardiac Tamponade

• Volume expansion and nitroprusside compared with pericardiocentesis in acute cardiac tamponade [6].
• Thus cardiac tamponade often may be diagnosed with a TMFP averaging well above zero, and diastolic equalization of PWP, RAP, and IPP may be a predominantly inspiratory finding ("inspiratory tracking") [7].
• Hemodynamic effects of nitroprusside and hydralazine in experimental cardiac tamponade [8].
• At all degrees of cardiac tamponade, the lactate-pyruvate ratio did not change significantly from baseline (7.56 +/- 2.31), there was no evidence of lactate production, and the normal endocardial to epicardial blood flow ratio present at baseline (1.41 +/- 0.23) was preserved.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)[9]
• Cardiac tamponade as the presenting manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus [10].

Chemical compound and disease context of Cardiac Tamponade

• Hemodynamic and regional blood flow distribution responses to dextran, hydralazine, isoproterenol and amrinone during experimental cardiac tamponade [11].
• Although there was early relapse with cardiac tamponade it eventually resolved with conservative management consisting of tube drainage initially and a medium chain triglyceride diet for two months [12].
• We report a case of an retinoic acid syndrome associated with cardiac tamponade due to massive pericardial effusion [13].
• Measurements were made at baseline, after 90 mins of cardiac tamponade, and 90 mins after the administration of the combined endothelinA/endothelinB antagonist tezosentan at 1 mg.kg-1.hr-1 during tamponade in seven animals [14].
• Sulphasalazine-induced lupus-like syndrome with cardiac tamponade in a patient with ulcerative colitis [15].

Biological context of Cardiac Tamponade

• The clinical triad of a low blood pressure, high central venous pressure (CVP) and distant cardiac sounds, proved diagnostic in 82 per cent of the patients with cardiac tamponade [16].
• To prevent abrupt elevation of blood pressure in response to the relief of cardiac tamponade, the pericardial aspiration was carried out slowly--it took four hours for the complete drainage of 415 ml of blood--and a vasodilator, sodium nitroprusside, was administered [17].
• Total peripheral resistance during cardiac tamponade: adrenergic and angiotensin roles [18].
• On two occasions, which were characterized by an excessive fall in cardiac output (to less than 40% of initial values) cardiac tamponade was followed by an extensive rise in the plasma concentrations of ANP, renin and aldosterone [19].

Anatomical context of Cardiac Tamponade

• Lymphocyte populations and cytokine concentrations in pericardial fluid from a systemic lupus erythematosus patient with cardiac tamponade [20].
• Compression of the superior vena cava and right atrium in cardiac tamponade [21].
• The case was complicated by the triad of cardiac tamponade, superior vena cava (SVC) syndrome, and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) [22].
• RESULTS: Perioperative mortality was 5.4% (n = 7) and five patients (3.9%) experienced significant perioperative complications, with one of them directly related to the method of bronchial stump coverage (cardiac tamponade due to the use of a too small Vicryl mesh for reconstruction of the pericardium) [23].
• We describe a first case of successful transcatheter management of guidewire-induced distal coronary artery perforation and impending cardiac tamponade, which developed during percutaneous coronary angioplasty, with transcatheter injection of polyvinyl alcohol form [24].

Gene context of Cardiac Tamponade

• We conclude that cardiac tamponade stimulates renin release and ANG II generation by a non-beta-receptor-mediated mechanism [18].
• Six dogs underwent cardiac tamponade in the control condition (no medications) and during independent alpha- and beta-adrenergic and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition [18].
• Inferior vena cava plethora as an echocardiographic sign of cardiac tamponade [25].
• The effect of pericardiocentesis on the plasma concentration of atrial natriuretic peptide was studied in a patient with cardiac tamponade [26].
• Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis with cardiac tamponade [27].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Cardiac Tamponade

• This report describes the first case of cardiac tamponade associated with total parenteral nutrition during pregnancy [28].
• Routine perioperative administration of aspirin and dipyridamole to patients undergoing myocardial revascularization may be associated with an increased incidence of delayed cardiac tamponade [29].
• Nine consecutive patients with malignant cardiac tamponade receiving minocycline intrapericardially are evaluated for the appearance of chest pain and ECG changes [30].
• A case of cardiac tamponade developing over 10 hours after accidental injection of 80 ml iohexol (350 mg i/ml) during an intravenous digital subtraction arteriography (DSA) examination is described [31].
• The effect of prior splenectomy on the hemodynamics of cardiac tamponade was investigated in 15 closed-chest pentobarbital sodium-anesthetized dogs [32].
