Echocardiography

Echocardiogram may show presence of fluid surrounding the heart in pericardial effusion. Loculated effusions secondary to adhesions in pericardial cavity may also be visualized as shown in the video below. Swinging motion of the heart may be seen in patients with cardiac tamponade.
