The second most common cause of medical cardiac tamponade is acute idiopathic pericarditis. Less common etiologies include uremia, bacterial or tubercular pericarditis, chronic idiopathic pericarditis, hemorrhage, and other causes such as autoimmune diseases, radiation, myxedema, etc. 2017 Nov;35(4):525-537. 2013.06.023.
