Mechanism of cardioprotection: what can we learn from females?

abstract：:Two children with acute symptomatic pericardial effusion had unusual echocardiographic findings. In each case, the pericardial effusion was hemorrhagic. Echocardiography displayed numerous linear bands coursing across the pericardial space. Recognition of this characteristic image may predict that an acute effusion is...
