Postoperative pericardial fluid accumulates around the heart. (a) Postoperative axial CT scan image of a cardiac surgery patient demonstrates accumulation of pericardial fluid around the heart. (b) The cardiac injury markers, myoglobin, CK-MB, and troponin-I are significantly elevated in the postoperative pericardial fluid compared with their plasma controls (P<0.05).
