Abstract
Hypothyroidismis a common disorder that affects multiple organs, we report on a case of primary hypothyroidism with cardiactamponade in a 50-year-old man who presented with dyspnea. A bedside echocardiogram revealed Tamponade; pericardiocentesis was performed, two liters of yellow fluid was removed. Laboratory analysis revealed the diagnosis of hypothyroidism due to elevated TSH and low T3 and T4. In the presence of a barrier, hypothyroidism should be suspected in patients without sinus tachycardia, The fluid's characteristic changes from clear to yellow, the prognosisis favorable after hormone therapy.
