Surviving the Storm : Cardiac Tamponade and Effusive Constrictive Pericarditis Complicated by Pericardial Decompression Syndrome Induced by COVID-19 Infection in the Setting of Newly Diagnosed Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)
Copyright © 2024, Abouzeid et al..
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-induced pericarditis and pericardial myocarditis are common entities; however, the development of pericardial effusion post-COVID-19 infection has only been reported in about 5% of cases. Rapid and acute progression to pericardial tamponade is uncommon, and progression to effusive constrictive pericarditis (ECP) and pericardial decompression syndrome (PDS) is an even rarer phenomenon. We describe these phenomena in this report to raise awareness and aid clinicians in the early diagnosis and management of these conditions. We report a case of a 45-year-old female with a past medical history of recent COVID-19 infection, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, and hypertension who presented with severe chest pain, which was determined to be acute pericarditis post-COVID-19 infection. The patient developed a large pericardial effusion leading to cardiac tamponade within one day of initial presentation. Urgent pericardiocentesis was performed but was complicated by rapid decompensation of the patient, which has been assumed to be ECP following pericardiocentesis and PDS. Close monitoring of acute pericarditis with pericardial effusion is required in these patients for the early detection of cardiac tamponade, which requires urgent pericardiocentesis. Judicious post-pericardiocentesis follow-up is also required for the early diagnosis of conditions such as ECP and PDS. These cases are generally managed symptomatically, but in cases of severe ECP syndrome, pericardial stripping may be required.
