✦ Synopsis

Cardiac tamponade is a common cardiac emergency requiring prompt diagnosis and intervention. A thorough understanding of the spectrum of clinical and hemodynamic changes in patients with pericardial effusion is vital for interventional cardiologists. This review discusses pathophysiology of cardiac tamponade with emphasis on hemodynamic aberrations. Specific clinical situations that lead to atypical hemodynamic presentations of cardiac tamponade are emphasized with a review of various diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
