“…Pericarditis is clinically evident in 20-30% of the patients along the course of their disease. Cardiac tamponade is rare, with an incidence ranging from 1.23% to 2.5% in two large retrospective series 3 , 4. Clinical manifestations of myocarditis are also rare; however, the signs of inflammation have been seen in 40-80% at autopsy 5.…”

“…Pericardial effusion in hypothyroid patients has been attributed to increased capillary permeability and impaired lymphatic drainage (6). Although the basis of an association of Graves' disease with bloody pericardial effusion is unknown, some patients with systemic lupus erythematosus have been reported to develop such effusion (8,11); autoimmune mechanisms therefore may be involved. Analysis of more cases is needed to fully establish bloody pericardial effusion as a complication of Graves' disease, and to better understand the pathophysiologic basis for this association.…”

Given that tamponade can occur at any point in the course of SLE, this lifethreatening diagnosis should be considered in patients with unexplained venous congestion.…”
