*friction rub & Diffuse ST-Elevation is only seen in pericarditis
*while Pulsus parodoxus & JVD...is seen in pericarditis & Cardiac tamponade
*Electric Alterans...only seen in cardiac tamponade
-----------------------------------------------------------
Acute pericarditis.....can lead to Chronic pericarditis or Pleural Effusion
*if the fluid accumulates too fast for the pericardium to accomodate...it leads to Cardiac Tamponade
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Is that correct??

yeah except that Electric Alterans is seen in case of Pericardial effusion and not necessarily Cardiac Temponade.
