Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening condition where fluid accumulation in the pericardial sac compresses the heart, impairing its ability to pump blood effectively.
Relatively rare, incidence estimated at 2 per 10,000 hospital admissions, but higher in specific patient populations (e.g., malignancy, trauma) (Source: Circulation, 2019).
