A member asked:
How dangerous is a mod-large pericardial effusion inferior to lv & rv w/mild septal bounce w/no other sign of constriction. dr. just wants to watch it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pericardial: effusion is not "dangerous" by itself unless it interferes with cardiac function OR the CAUSE is not known! "Watchful Waiting" is often the most APPROPRIATE medical decision! Hope this helps! Dr Z
