Beck’s triad is a combination of increased JVD, hypotension and muffled heart tones and occurs in which of the following?

Hemothorax
Cardiac tamponade
Aortic dissection
Traumatic brain injury

Explanation

Answer: B- Beck’s triad is observed in cases of cardiac tamponade and is caused by the increase in pressure in the pericardial sac, which, in turn, causes the inability of the ventricles to expand fully. This results in hypotension systemically and a backup of blood in the jugular veins.
