Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
BACKGROUND: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, multisystemic disease of unknown etiology, whose clinical manifestations are heterogeneous. Pericardial involvement is the most common cardiac complication; however, the development of cardiac tamponade is rare, and even more so in pregnant patients presenting with SLE. OBJECTIVE: To present the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment, and evolution of cardiac tamponade in a pregnant patient that presents with systemic lupus erythematosus. CLINICAL CASE: A 24-year-old patient, who is 27.5 weeks pregnant, presenting with anasarca, dyspnea that evolved to orthopnea and stabbing chest pain for three weeks. Her chest X-ray showed cardiomegaly grade II, congestive lung fields and pleural effusion at the level of cardiophrenic sinuses. The echocardiogram found a 500 mL pericardial effusion with evidence of cardiac tamponade. Progressive deterioration with compromised lung capacity, and the appearance of acute renal failure with progressive increases in creatinine; showing hemodynamic instability characterized by paradoxical pulse and hypotension. With positive Antinuclear Antibodies (ANA) and proteinuria, renal biopsy reports histopathological patterns corresponding to lupus nephritis, treated with steroid pulses and intravenous cyclophosphamide in a risk-benefit assessment, with subsequent satisfactory maternal-fetal evolution. CONCLUSION: Cardiac tamponade is not common in patients with SLE, and it is even rarer as the initial manifestation, even more so during pregnancy. It is a clinical emergency and requires multidisciplinary management since pregnancy in a patient with SLE implies an increased risk of systemic complications.
