Tutorial
Pericardial Effusion
How pericardial effusion is graded, imaged view by view, told apart from its mimics, and diagnosed systematically by echocardiography.
TutorialCardiac Tamponade
The echocardiographic and Doppler signs of tamponade physiology, their actual sensitivity and specificity, and the 2025 ESC triage score for drainage timing.
TutorialConstrictive Pericarditis
Annulus reversus and annulus paradoxus, the precise Doppler timing that distinguishes constriction from restriction, and the 2025 ESC management algorithm.
TutorialOther Pericardial Diseases
Acute pericarditis, pericardial cysts, congenital absence of the pericardium, and pericardial tumors — echo features not covered elsewhere.
