Cardiac tamponade in left ventricular dysfunction.
Echocardiographic and hemodynamic data were measured in closed-chest dogs during graded cardiac tamponade (pericardial pressure 5, 10, and 15 mm Hg) before and after production of diffuse ischemic left ventricular dysfunction. Left ventricular dysfunction was produced by intracoronary injection of nonradioactive microspheres (54 +/- 3.9 mm diameter). Changes in left atrial pressure with cardiac...
متن کاملTransient left ventricular systolic dysfunction mimicking myocardial infarction after pericardiocentesis
A 69-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of weight loss and progressively worsening dyspnoea. Her previous medical history was unremarkable. She was admitted to the internal medicine department. A cardiologist was consulted because of atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response and an enlarged cardiac silhouette on her chest Xray. On physical examination her blood pressu...
متن کاملTransient left ventricular dysfunction following pericardiocentesis. An unusual complication to bear in mind.
episodes of ventricular tachycardia induced by silent coronary vasospasm. The case of an 80 year old male is presented. Type 2 diabetic, recently diagnosed with latent multiple myeloma and a history of severe right coronary lesion, revascularised through angioplasty and stent implant 2 years before. The echocardiography performed 2 years previously presented normal global and segmental contract...
متن کاملCardiac tamponade complicating leukaemia: immediate chemotherapy or pericardiocentesis?
Although leukaemic infiltration of the pericardium is frequently observed at post-mortem, clinically evident cardiac tamponade is rare. Two cases of cardiac tamponade complicating leukaemia are presented. One patient had cardiac tamponade as the initial presentation of acute lymphoblastic leukaemia and experienced complete resolution of the pericardial effusion within 6 days after chemotherapy ...
متن کاملA Rare Cause of Cardiac Tamponade: Left Ventricular Pacemaker Malposition
The malpositioning of a pacemaker lead is an uncommon and under-reported complication of pacemaker/Automated Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillator (AICD) placement. It can be associated with complications such as pericardial effusions and tamponade. We describe a case of an elderly woman who developed cardiac tamponade after inadvertent placement of a permanent pacing lead in the left ventricl...
