Zilan: "Cardiac Tamponade": Cardiac Tamponade The condition in which excess fluid (blood or pericardial effusion) rapidly accumulates in the pericardial cavity is called "cardiac tamponade". It is commonly caused by both blunt and penetrating chest injuries and by myocardial rupture or pericarditis (inflammation of pericardium). This is a life-threatening condition in which accumulating fluid compresses the heart, preventing the heart's chambers from filling properly with blood. Relieving the pressure is usually accomplished with pericardiocentesis (a procedure to drain the fluid from the pericardial cavity).
