Abstract
We report two cases of haemopericardium presenting as tamponade in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Pericardial aspiration produced a good clinical response with no reaccumulation. We suggest that, although rare, haemopericardium can be a feature of rheumatoid disease and may be associated with significant haemodynamic disturbance.Entities:
