- Pericardial effusions were excluded by serial echocardiograms. The sums of the amplitude of QRS complexes from the 12 ECG leads (Sigma QRS) were correlated with the corresponding WTs.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Chest and abdomen CT showed massive bilateral pleural effusions, but no lung infiltrate, pericardial effusion or ascites or lymphadenopathy.[bloodjournal.org]
- Pericardial effusion is the term for edema within the pericardial space between the outer layers of the heart. It is also known as a hydropericardium. Pulmonary edema is the term for edema within the lungs.[healthhype.com]

Pathophysiology
- Her severe cerebral edema is of considerable pathophysiologic interest: 1) it developed in the setting of marked anasarca and persistent hypernatremia, and 2) although hepatic function was poor, it was not considered sufficiently deranged to induce cerebral[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Pathophysiology In the presence of hypoalbuminemia as seen in nephrotic syndrome or other disease entities, anasarca occurs as a result of low osmotic pressure in the capillaries.[healthfixit.com]
- I'm thinking about the pathophysiology of the condition. The patient retains all this fluid because of underlying chemisty imbalances. Often low protein is at the heart of it.[allnurses.com]
