Dual-phase CT captures instantaneous cardiac tamponade from a hemorrhagic pericardial effusion in acute chest pain.
Demonstrates the capability of dual-phase computed tomography to capture instantaneous cardiac tamponade in patients presenting with acute chest pain.
CT may detect tamponade in stable chest pain patients; single case leaves open prospective validation.
This case report discusses instantaneous cardiac tamponade due to hemorrhagic pericardial effusion captured on computed tomography imaging in a previously hemodynamically stable patient with acute chest pain.
