AB Echocardiography  remains  the  principal  imaging  method  to  assess  pericardial  disease,  especially  in  the  acute  setting,  and  it  is  the  imaging  method  of  choice  to  diagnose  the  presence  of  pericardial  effusions.  In  fact,  one  of  the  initial  descriptions  of  the  use  of  echocardiography  in  the  United  States  was  a  seminal  paper  by  Dr.  Harvey  Feigenbaum  in  1965  describing  the  use  of  cardiac  ultrasound  to  detect  pericardial  fluid.1
