  schema:description "Tamponade is when fluid builds up in the sac around the heart and squeezes it, so it cannot fill and pump properly. In cancer the fluid usually comes from cancer cells in the sac. Breathlessness is the main symptom, and the fluid is drained with a needle or a small operation."@en ;
