Abstract
Fluid accumulation in the pericardia! cavity and other serous spaces has
been noted in patients with fluid retention states as in heart failure,
hypoalbuminaemia and nephrotic syndrome.
Fluid retention in patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis is
accompanied by oedema and hydrothorax. In the last group, it has not been
properly studied whether pericardia! effusion occurs in such patients or not.
On the other hand, results of echocardiographic assessment of LV
functions in patients with ascites secondary to hepatic cirrhosis were variable.
