Abstract
Echocardiography is the gold standard diagnostic modality for identifying pericardial tamponade, a disease of high mortality. In this study, we aimed to identify the specific echocardiographic features associated with adverse outcomes in patients with pericardial effusions requiring pericardiocentesis and, validate a previously described 4-point clinical and echocardiographic score (systolic BP <100mmHg, effusion size, right ventricular (RV) diastolic collapse, mitral valve (MV) inflow velocity variation >25%) in predicting worse outcomes.
