Key result
Recognizing incidental imaging features of increased intrapericardial pressure on chest CT can better guide the care of patients with pericardial effusion.
Why the study?
Recognizing imaging findings of increased intrapericardial pressure from pericardial effusion on chest CT is important to better guide patient care.
Familiarity with incidental imaging features of increased intrapericardial pressure on chest CT can help radiologists better guide patient care.
Raises awareness of CT tamponade signs; leaves open prospective validation against clinical outcomes.
We sought to describe incidental imaging features of increased intrapericardial pressure due to pericardial effusion on chest computed tomography (CT) and correlate them with cardiac CT, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and echocardiography. It is important for the radiologist to become familiar with imaging findings of increased intrapericardial pressure in the setting of pericardial effusion when identified on chest CT. Recognizing the imaging findings of increased intrapericardial pressure can better guide the care of these patients.
