CT can detect the presence of a pericardial effusion; however, it is not accurate to estimate size. The 12-lead ECG may show low voltage, pericarditis (if present) or electrical alternans.

ECG changes (diffuse ST-segment elevation or PR depression) and pericardial effusion (Table 2). A clinical diagnosis of myopericarditis can be performed in patients with a definite diagnosis of ...

The rate of pericardial effusion in oral minoxidil adverse event reports were relatively low and were independent of the dose received.

The clinical diagnosis of acute pericarditis is based on simple criteria: typical chest pain, pericardial friction rub (Figure 2), widespread ST-segment elevation (Figure 3) and pericardial ...

Low voltage on the ECG can be caused by obesity, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pericardial effusion, severe hypothyroidism, subcutaneous emphysema, massive myocardial damage ...
