Overview
Diagnostic Study of Choice
Study of choice
- There is no single diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of pericardial effusion.
- Pericardial effusion is primarily diagnosed based on the clinical evaluation along with electrocardiographic and chest radiograph findings, which may suggest the presence of a pericardial effusion.
- Echocardiography must be performed in all patients with possible pericardial effusion.[1]
- Echocardiography is an excellent method for detection and estimation of the size of pericardial effusions.
