A 52-year-old man with a history of chronic hypertension presented with worsening dyspnea and leg edema. He had been on minoxidil for 10 years. The cardiac silhouette was markedly enlarged. Echocardiography and computed tomography showed a large pericardial effusion. His cardiac status was stable and he was in no cardiorespiratory distress. No attempt was made to drain the fluid. Minoxidil was discontinued, and a month later, the effusion had virtually disappeared. Cessation of minoxidil administration and conservative management may suffice, even though the pericardial effusion is large.
一名有慢性高血压病史的52岁男性，出现呼吸困难加重和腿部水肿。他服用米诺地尔已有10年。心脏轮廓明显增大。超声心动图和计算机断层扫描显示大量心包积液。他的心脏状况稳定，没有心肺窘迫。未尝试引流积液。停用米诺地尔，一个月后，积液几乎消失。即使心包积液量大，停用米诺地尔并采取保守治疗可能就足够了。
