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 ...

The rate of pericardial effusion in oral minoxidil adverse event reports were relatively low and were independent of the dose received.

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

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 ...
