Heart Full of Autoimmunity: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Pericardial disorders in connective tissue diseases (CTD) are common and may present as acute or chronic pericarditis. Their presentation as cardiac tamponade is rare. The availability of echocardiography has enhanced the ability to make a early diagnosis of pericardial effusion and tamponade. We report a case of mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) manifesting as cardiac tamponade at presentation and review of the literature.
