Echocardiographic tamponade in severe left ventricular dysfunction: the impact of small pericardial effusion and the absence of pulsus paradoxicus

Cardiac tamponade is a commonly encountered clinical entity. It is a clinical syndrome characterized by elevated filling pressures, pulsus paradoxicus, and eventually, hypotension. It occurs as intrapericardial pressure exceeds intracardiac pressures altering ventricular filling. Generally tamponade...
