Abstract
Cardiac tamponade is the pericardial syndrome occurring when pericardial effusion impairs diastolic filling of the heart till reducing cardiac output and producing signs and symptoms. The impairment of diastolic filling is continuous through the entire diastole. The size of the effusion as well as its distribution may be variable [1, 2].
