Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide concentrations rose sharply from 42 pmol l-1 to a maximum of 150 pmol l-1 with a corresponding fall in mean right atrial pressure from 20 mmHg to 6 mmHg.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pericardiocentesis: Technique 42 Cardiac tamponade relieved if (a) Pericardial pressure falls to a level 0 mm Hg and separates from the right atrial pressure (b) Right atrial pressure itself falls to the normal range and exhibits return of the normal[slideshare.net]
As the effusion becomes larger, impaired filling becomes worse and both cardiac output and blood pressure fall, eventually to levels that are insufficient to sustain life.[cathlabdigest.com]
Significant hypoxemia can result from right-to-left intracardiac shunting through a patent foramen ovale, an atrialseptaldefect or a ventricular septal defect.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
On the basis of echocardiography, a diagnosis of ostium primum atrialseptaldefect (OPASD) with effusive chronic constrictive pericarditis was made.[annals.in]

With decreased oxygen, a gas vital to life, the body cannot function properly and one can suffer from serious hypoxemia (oxygen deficiency) and worst - death.[docdoc.com]
A transthoracic echocardiogram performed 24 h later showed improved motion of the RV and the tricuspid valve, resulting in a reduction in tricuspid regurgitation.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A 75-year-old man with coronary artery disease, atrial fibrillation, sick sinus syndrome with permanent pacemaker, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and previous exertional dyspnea related to moderately severe mitral regurgitation from myxomatous degeneration[ahajournals.org]
Post bypass TEE revealed mild tricuspid regurgitation with a RVSP of 36 mm Hg.[annals.in]
The patient developed an early leftventriculardysfunction after removal of the pericardial effusion, with complete recovery within 10 days.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Transitory leftventriculardysfunction after pericardiocentesis is a rare complication and its exact incidence is unknown.[revespcardiol.org]

We conclude that high-volume hemofiltration can be helpful as an adjuvant treatment for refractoryshock after pericardiocentesis for chronic cardiac tamponade. The mechanism of the observed hemodynamic improvement remains to be investigated.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The aim of this study was to examine the etiology of pericardial effusions requiring a percutaneous intervention, either because of hemodynamic compromise or for a diagnostic workup, to determine how often fluid cytology is requested in unsuspected as[ahajournals.org]
Left ventricular ejectionfractiondecreased to 20%, and there was akinesis in the left ventricular apex, and severe hypokinesis in the septum. The amount of daily drainage was decreased to 250 ml.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
CONCLUSIONS: The interval between cancer diagnosis and NCT onset, the impact of NCT on prognosis, and the prognosis after pericardiocentesis differed according to cancer type.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Adjunctive imaging decreases procedural risk for difficult-to-access pericardial fluid collections and must be used to prevent inadvertent morbidities.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
