Y1 - 2019 N1 - T2 - The Color Atlas and Synopsis of Family Medicine, 3e AB - A 30-year-old woman presented to her family physician with increasing shortness of breath over the past 2 weeks. Two weeks ago she developed a flulike illness and felt like she never recovered. She denied chest pain or edema, did not take any medications, and had not had any recent trauma or surgery. She had a normal examination. Her chest radiograph showed a classic globular heart as demonstrated in Figure 51-1. She had nonspecific ST changes on her ECG. An echocardiogram confirmed pericardial effusion (Figure 51-2). The underlying etiology was not elucidated, but she recovered spontaneously over the next several months.
