Popis: In three cases of acute pericarditis with pericardial effusion, the presence of fibrous strands within the fluid-filled pericardial cavity was demonstrated by M-mode and cross-sectional echocardiography. Pericardiocentesis proved difficult in all three. No patient progressed to constrictive pericarditis.
