Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening condition where fluid builds up in the pericardium and compresses the heart. This causes impaired filling of the heart and reduced cardiac output. The accumulation of fluid in the pericardial sac increases intrapericardial pressure and prevents normal diastolic filling of the heart.
