    Notes: Abstract Objective: To evaluate the risk and effectiveness of pericardiocentesis in primary and repeat cardiac tamponade Design: Retrospective analysis. Setting: Intensive care unit in a medical university hospital. Patients: Sixty-three consecutively admitted patients with cardiac tamponade. Interventions: In all patients pericardiocentesis was performed via the subxiphoid pathway after echocardiographic detection of the pericardial effusion. Measurements and results: There was no adverse event in patients undergoing primary pericardiocentesis, which was sufficient to resolve pericardial effusion in 51 of 63 patients (81 %). However, repeat pericardiocentesis necessitated by the recurrence of symptomatic pericardial effusion yielded suboptimal results in 10 of 12 patients (83 %). Conclusion: Pericardiocentesis is the treatment of choice for primary symptomatic pericardial effusion. In recurrent pericardial effusion surgical approaches appear to be preferable.

    Description / Table of Contents: Summary Endomyocardial biopsy is an established technique to distinguish between myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy. Even when clinical symptoms for myocarditis are lacking, immunohistologic findings may establish a clear diagnosis. For treatment, however, an early diagnosis is mandatory. We report on a 44 year old patient who was admitted with the echocardiographic diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy. He underwent diagnostic angiocardiography and endomyocardial biopsy. The latter demonstrated an active myocarditis. At the time of readmission, 2 weeks later, the patient had deteriorated. Now, additional to a symptomatic therapy, prednisolone, azathioprine and human immunoglobulin G were given and patient conditions improved dramatically. The use of endomyocardial biopsy seems recommendable in order to define patients diagnosis and their results may be necessary to decide patients therapy.
    Notes: Zusammenfassung In der Differentialdiagnose zwischen Myokarditis und dilativer Kardiomyopathie ist die Endomyokardbiopsie ein wesentlicher Untersuchungsbestandteil geworden. Anhand wichtiger immunhistologischer Befunde gelingt oft die sichere Diagnosestellung. Therapie und damit weiterer Verlauf sind von einer frühen Diagnose abhängig. Wir berichten über einen 44jährigen Patienten, der mit dem echokardiographischen Bild einer dilativen Kardiomyopathie zur invasiven kardiologischen Diagnostik in unsere Klinik kam. Es erfolgte zusätzlich eine Endomyokardbiopsie, die den Zufallsbefund einer floriden Myokarditis erbrachte. Nachdem sich bis zur Wiederaufnahme eine dramatische Verschlechterung des Gesundheitszustandes ergeben hatte, wurde neben einer symptomatischen Therapie zusätzlich mit einer Kombination aus Prednisolon, Azathioprin und humanem Immunoglobulin G behandelt, welche zu einer deutlichen Besserung der Beschwerden mit beitrug. Ein großzügiger Einsatz der Endomyokardbiopsie scheint empfehlenswert, da dieses diagnostische Verfahren auch therapiebestimmend sein kann.
