Abstract
Pericarditis is the most common cardiac condition in rheumatoid arthritis. Its clinical expression is rare and is exceptionally complicated by tamponade. Patients with RA who developed hemodynamic compromise as a result of pericardial involvement had a 100% mortality rate. We report in this observation the case of a 35-year-old female patient admitted for tamponade on a rheumatoid arthritis background.
