The hemodynamic effects of cardiac tamponade: mainly the result of atrial, not ventricular, compression.

چکیده
We studied the hemodynamic effects of surgically induced regional cardiac tamponade in anesthetized dogs. Tamponade restricted to either the right or the left ventricle was compared with tamponade of either ventricle and both atria. Intrapericardial pressures were elevated to approximately 20 mm Hg. With tamponade of the right ventricle alone, aortic pressure rose from 161 +/- 3.8 to 164 +/- 3.4 mm Hg (p greater than .05) and cardiac output fell from 149.4 +/- 16.1 to 134.9 +/- 11.9 ml/kg/min (p greater than .05). However, tamponade of the right ventricle plus both atria decreased mean aortic pressure from 152.5 +/- 3.6 to 115.9 +/- 8.7 mm Hg (p less than .01) and cardiac output fell from 118 +/- 14.8 to 38.9 +/- 4.8 ml/kg/min (p less than .01). With tamponade of the left ventricle alone, aortic mean pressure changed significantly from 158.5 +/- 6.1 (control) to 148.9 +/- 5.0 mm Hg (tamponade) (p less than .05) and cardiac output was 135.5 +/- 28.3 (control) and 111 +/- 24.7 ml/kg/min (tamponade) (p greater than .05). However, when the atria were included, mean aortic pressure fell significantly more from 155.5 +/- 5.4 to 105.5 +/- 10.4 mm Hg (p less than .01) and cardiac output fell from 142.2 +/- 16 to 47.8 +/- 6.4 ml/kg/min (p less than .01). Atrial pressure rose when the atria were included, but not with tamponade of the left ventricle alone. Right but not left atrial pressure rose slightly with isolated right ventricular tamponade. We conclude that the principal hemodynamic effects of cardiac tamponade are not the result of compression of either the right or the left ventricle, but are the consequence of compression of the atria and/or the venae cavae and the pulmonary veins.

متن کاملDelayed postoperative cardiac tamponade mimicking severe tricuspid valve stenosis.
A patient developed acute, severe hemodynamic deterioration five days after an aortic valve replacement. Cardiac catheterization revealed a markedly elevated right atrial pressure but a normal right ventricular end-diastolic pressure. Angiography revealed an extrinsic mass causing compression of the right atrium and the tricuspid anulus. A large clot overlying the right atrium and ventricle was...
متن کاملRight ventricular Hemodynamic Alteration after Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
Introduction: In patients who underwent surgery to repair Tetralogy of Fallot, right ventricular dilation from pulmonary regurgitation may be result in right ventricular failure, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Hence, pulmonary valve replacement may be necessary to reduce right ventricular volume overload. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of pulmonary valve replacement on rig...
متن کاملCardiac 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 کاملFeasibility of diagnosis of postcardiotomy tamponade by miniaturized transesophageal echocardiography.
BACKGROUND Pericardial tamponade after cardiac surgery is a critical diagnosis that can be difficult to diagnose using conventional cardiac monitoring. Transesophageal echocardiography can provide comprehensive information to make the diagnosis but is not always available, whereas transthoracic echocardiography has its utility limited because of the body habitus or other surgical effects. New m...
