    Author: Hanip MR, Ong SB, Tan TT, Khalid BA.
    Journal: Med J Malaysia; 1989 Dec; 44(4):341-3. PubMed ID: 2520045.
    Abstract:
    A 44 year old lady with primary hypothyroidism presented with massive pericardial effusion without cardiac tamponade. Pericardial tap was done twice and the effusion resolved as the hypothyroid state improved. She remained hypertensive despite the euthyroid state. She was discharged well with L-thyroxine and anti-hypertensive therapy.
