Pericardial Effusion in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthur Calick M.D.1 and Robert Bishop M.D.1

1 Naval Hospital at St. Albans, New York

A case of rheumatoid pericardial effusion with restriction to ventricular diastolic filling is discussed. Diminished glucose concentrations and increased lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) were found in the pericardial fluid. This combination may be of value in diagnosis. Similarities between the properties of rheumatoid pleural and pericardial fluids are noted.
