Overview

Cardiac tamponade is caused by the accumulation of a large or uncontrolled pericardial effusion. The effusion can occur rapidly (as in the case of trauma or myocardial rupture), or over a more gradual period of time (as in cancer). The fluid involved is often blood, but pus is also found in some circumstances. Common causes of increased pericardial effusion include hypothyroidism, trauma (either penetrating trauma involving the pericardium or blunt chest trauma), pericarditis (inflammation of the pericardium), iatrogenic trauma (during an invasive procedure), and ventricular rupture.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. Any cause of pericardial effusion capable of compromising the hemodynamic status of a patient is potentially life threatening.[1][2]

Common Causes

The most common cause of cardiac tamponade include the following[3][4][5][6][7][8][9]

Bacteria - pneumococcus, streptococcus, staphylococcus
Fungus - blastomyces, cryptococcus, histoplasma, pneumocystis carinii
Tuberculous
Virus - coxsackie virus, echovirus, CMV
