A member asked:
Ct scan shows nonhemorrhagic pericardial effusion. dr didn't seem concerned until i questioned. sending me to cardiologist. should i be concerned?

Pericardial effusion can be so serious that you would not be able to ask a question on the internet. On the other hand, some pericardial effusions are not concerning. More information is needed, which can be obtained by the doctor who sees you in person.
