Cardiac Tamponade PPT: Definition, Symptoms, Causes and Complications Free Download: When blood or fluid accumulates between the heart’s outer covering sac and its muscle, it puts pressure on the heart, a condition known as cardiac tamponade.

Cardiac Tamponade PPT: Definition, Symptoms, Causes and Complications

In this situation, the sac around the heart becomes clogged with blood or fluid. The ventricles of the heart are unable to fully expand as a result. The fluid’s high pressure renders the heart incapable of pumping blood efficiently. The body doesn’t receive enough blood as a result.

Cardiac tamponade may happen because of:

cutting open an aortic aneurysm (thoracic)

terminal lung cancer

chest pain (acute MI)

cardiac surgery

Infections with bacteria or viruses can cause pericarditis.

Illnesses of the heart
