Zusammenfassung:System for indicating a possibility a cardiac tamponade occurring in a patient, comprising: -a right atrium pressure sensor, configured for measuring a right atrium pressure in a right atrium of the patient; -an intra pericardial pressure sensor, configured for measuring an intra pericardial pressure in a portion of an intra-pericardial space of the patient; -a processing device that is operatively connected to the pressure sensors, is provided with a predetermined statistical distribution of pressure versus tamponade probabilities, and is configured for: -determining a trans-mural pressure difference between the right atrium pressure and the intra pericardial pressure; -comparing the trans-mural pressure difference with the statistical distribution, and -indicating the possibility of cardiac tamponade occurrence, based on the trans-mural pressure difference comparison.
