Abstract
Two cases of myxedema with cardiac abnormalities attributed to long standing massive pericardial effusion were proved by pericardial paracentesis. A review of 44 similar case reports is also presented. Pulmonary congestion was present in none. Clinical evidence is cited which strongly suggests that pericardial effusion is of frequent occurrence and an important factor in accounting for the cardiac dysfunction in "myxedema heart.".Keywords
