AB Cardiac  tamponade  is  a  clinical  syndrome  in  which  fluid  accumulates  within  the  pericardial  sac,  leading  to  increased  pericardial  pressures  that  compress  the  chambers  of  the  heart  and  restrict  cardiac  filling.  Cardiac  tamponade  can  be  caused  by  myocardial  infarction,  myocarditis,  cardiac  surgery,  Dressler’s  syndrome,  dissecting  aortic  aneurysms,  and  iatrogenic  trauma  that  may  occur  during  percutaneous  coronary  intervention,  electrophysiology  studies,  and  cardiopulmonary  resuscitation.  Blunt  and  penetrating  trauma  may  rapidly  lead  to  hemopericardium  and  subsequently  acute  tamponade.  Pericardial  effusions,  which  can  lead  to  tamponade  physiology,  also  have  a  variety  of  etiologies:  infection,  malignancy,  autoimmune,  uremia,  and  collagen  vascular  disease,  among  others.
