Global Cardiac Tamponade Market Size, Share, Forecast Report, 2020-2027

Cardiac tamponade, is the build-up of fluid in the sac around the heart (pericardium) resulting in pressure and difficulty in compression of the heart which results in reduced blood volume to be pumped by the heart. The symptoms of cardiac tamponade include shortness of breath, weakness, light-headedness, cough, fatigue, swelling of the abdomen and veins in the arms or legs, or other areas, pale, blue or grey-tinted skin, rapid heartbeat, anxiety or restlessness, fainting etc. The causes of cardiac tamponade are cancer, kidney failure, chest trauma, pericarditis, connective tissue diseases, hypothyroidism, aortic rupture, post-operative consequences of cardiac surgery, tuberculosis etc. Cardiac tamponade can be life-threatening if not treated. Risk factors which increases the chances of cardiac tamponade include heart surgery, heart attack, injury to the heart, end-stage lung cancer, radiation therapy to the chest, hypothyroidism, systemic lupus erythematosus etc.

Diagnosis for this disorder is mostly based on x-ray, computed tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), coronary angiography, etc. The diagnosis may be further supported by ultrasound of the heart. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the diagnostic test of choice. The surgery segment is led by pericardiocentesis which involves drainage of the fluid by use of a needle. Cardiac tamponade occurs in approximately 2 per 10,000 individuals annually in the US alone.
