Coronary Sinus Diameter to Inferior Vena Cava Diameter Ratio in the Diagnosis of Cardiac Tamponade: A Novel Approach

Conclusions The tomographic measures of both the CS diameter and the CS/IVC ratio predicted tamponade in clinically stable patients with large pericardial effusion. Compared with CS diameter, CS/IVC ratio seemed to be a more powerful predictor of tamponade.
