The clinical diagnosis of acute pericarditis is based on simple criteria: typical chest pain, pericardial friction rub (Figure 2), widespread ST-segment elevation (Figure 3) and pericardial ...

Increased pericardial brightness with minimal pericardial effusion is a nonspecific finding. Echocardiography enables noninvasive detection of impaired left ventricular systolic function ...

A month after halting dosing in two of the three treatment arms of a phase 2 trial of its pulmonary arterial hypertension ...

Review pulsus paradoxus here. Diagnosis is clinical, based on hypotension with a large pericardial effusion; however, echocardiography can be helpful and can show right ventricular early diastolic ...
