  schema:description "Cancer can cause fluid to build up in the sac around the heart. When there is a lot, the heart cannot fill properly: breathlessness, a fast heartbeat, feeling faint or low blood pressure need emergency care. A heart ultrasound finds the fluid, and a needle and drain remove it. Because it often comes back, doctors may leave a drain in for a few days or make an opening in the sac."@en ;
