Hemopericardium
Classification and external resources
ICD-10	I 23.0, I 31.2, S 26.0
ICD-9	423.0, 860.2

Hemopericardium refers to blood in the pericardial sac of the heart. It is a cause of pericardial effusion, and can also cause cardiac tamponade.^[1]

The condition can be caused by trauma,^[2] but it has also been observed in patients on anticoagulant therapy.^[3]^[4]
