Abstract     Hypothyroidism is a rare cause of pericardial effusion. The amount of pericardial effusion depends on the degree of thyroid hormone insufficiency. Because of slow accumulation of fluid in the pericardial sac, the hemodynamic warning signs are often not present even in the case of large effusions. Cardiac tamponade is very rare in hypothyroidism.
Summary     Hipotiroza je redek vzrok perikardnega izliva. Količina perikardnega izliva je odvisna od stopnje odpovedi ščitničnih hormonov. Zaradi počasnega nabiranja tekočine v perikardno vrečo tudi pri velikih izlivih pogosto opozorilni hemodinamski znaki niso prisotni (1). Tamponada srca ob hipotirozi je zelo redka.
