We present a case of 35 years old women who presented to our institution with a history of bilateral infiltrating duct cell carcinoma of breast, chest pain with heaviness, severe respiratory distress and hypotension. Echocardiography revealed massive pericardial effusion with features of cardiac tamponade. The patient was treated with urgent pericardiocentesis followed by subxiphoid pericardial window drainage of 500ml of haemorrhagic pericardial fluid. Cytological examina­tion confirmed the previous suspicious of malignancy. The patient tolerated the procedure very well, immediate sympto­matic relief was observed.

Abstract Background This case report demonstrates pericardial effusion, acute pericarditis, and cardiac tamponade in an otherwise healthy woman who had a positive test result for coronavirus disease 2019. Few case reports have been documented on patients with this presentation, and it is important to share novel presentations of the disease as they are discovered. Case presentation A Caucasian patient with coronavirus disease 2019 returned to the emergency department of our hospital 2 days after her initial visit with worsening chest pain and shortness of breath. Imaging revealed new pericardial effusion since the previous visit. The patient became hypotensive, was taken for pericardial window for cardiac tamponade with a drain placed, and was treated for acute pericarditis. Conclusion Much is still unknown about the implications of coronavirus disease 2019. With the novel coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic, research is still in process, and we are slowly learning about new signs and symptoms of the disease. This case report documents a lesser-known presentation of a patient with coronavirus disease 2019 and will help to further understanding of a rare presentation.

Background Patients with recurrent pericarditis (RP) may develop complications, multiple recurrences, or inadequate treatment response. This study aimed to characterize disease burden and unmet needs in RP. Methods and Results This retrospective US database analysis included newly diagnosed patients with RP with ≥24 months of continuous history following their first pericarditis episode. RP was defined as ≥2 pericarditis episodes ≥28 days apart. Some patients had ≥2 recurrences, while others had a single recurrence with a serious complication, ie, constrictive pericarditis, cardiac tamponade, or a large pericardial effusion with pericardiocentesis/pericardial window. Among these patients with multiple recurrences and/or complications, some had features relating to treatment history, including long‐term corticosteroid use (corticosteroids started within 30 days of flare, continuing ≥90 consecutive days) or inadequate treatment response (pericarditis recurring despite corticosteroids and/or colchicine, or other drugs [excluding NSAIDs] within 30 days of flare, or prior pericardiectomy). Patients (N=2096) had hypertension (60%), cardiomegaly (9%), congestive heart failure (17%), atrial fibrillation (16%), autoimmune diseases (18%), diabetes mellitus (21%), renal disease (20%), anxiety (21%), and depression (14%). Complications included pericardial effusion (50%), cardiac tamponade (9%), and constrictive pericarditis (4%). Pharmacotherapy included colchicine (51%), NSAIDs (40%), and corticosteroids (30%), often in combination. This study estimates 37 000 US patients with RP; incidence was 6.0/100 000/year (95% CI, 5.6‒6.3), and prevalence was 11.2/100 000 (95% CI, 10.6‒11.7). Conclusions Patients with RP may have multiple recurrences and/or complications, often because of inadequate treatment response and persistent underlying disease. Corticosteroid use is frequent despite known side‐effect risks, potentially exacerbated by prevalent comorbidities. Substantial clinical burden and lack of effective treatments underscore the high unmet need.
