Tamponade. Left ventricular diastolic collapse.
Cardiac tamponade is an emergency condition in which fluid accumulates in the pericardium (the sac in which the heart is enclosed).
Cardiac tamponade occurs when the pericardial space fills up with fluid faster than the pericardial sac can stretch. If the amount of fluid increases slowly (such as in hypothyroidism) the pericardial sac can expand to contain a liter or more of fluid prior to tamponade occurring. If the fluid occurs rapidly (as may occur after trauma or myocardial rupture) as little as 100 ml can cause tamponade.
