Understanding Cardiac Tamponade
Cardiac tamponade results from various factors, including myocardial perforations and compressive hematomas. Causes can include catheter interventions and traumatic injuries, as well as post-surgical complications. The diagnosis typically involves echocardiographic findings such as pericardial fluid and temporal changes in chamber collapse. Treatment approaches vary based on the cause, with pericardiocentesis for medical cases and median sternotomy for cases related to trauma.
