What is pericardial effusion – Cardiology Basics
What is pericardial effusion – Cardiology Basics
Pericardial effusion is collection of fluid between the visceral and parietal layers of the pericardium. If the amount of pericardial fluid is large or there is a rapid increase in the amount of pericardial fluid, compression of the heart prevents its proper filling. This reduces cardiac output and causes hypotension and is known as cardiac tamponade.
Cardiac tamponade needs urgent pericardial aspiration or surgical drainage if the fluid is very thick. Very thick fluid can be there in purulent bacterial pericarditis. Sometimes it can be a hemopericardium due to bleedin...

Cardiovascular risk in cancer survivors
Improvements in cancer care has its impact on better survival of those with early stage disease in several malignancies. In this scenario, cardiovascular disease has become a competing cause of death. It is not just due to chemotherapy induced myocardial disease, but also due to common risk factors for cardiovascular disease in this population. Hypertension, cigarette smoking and loss of cardiovascular fitness are some of them [1]. Weight gain may be also a problem in some. Those who have survived cancer for over 5 years have a 1.3 to 3.6 fold increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. Increased incidence of cardiovascu...

Editor’s Note: This essay contains excerpts from Extreme Measures: Finding a Better Path to the End of Life, coming February 21st, 2017 from Penguin-Random House.
