Presentation
We reproduced, in part, the hemodynamic and biochemical manifestations of this presentation with Valsalva maneuver in healthy subjects. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Synchronized cardioversion is usually the treatment of choice in the hemodynamically unstable patient. [acepnow.com]

The Valsalva maneuver is used in clinical medicine for the diagnosis and/or treatment of various cardiovascular conditions. It can also be used in activities of daily living, such as defecation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis
Prognosis. Abstract Introduction and objectives. In patients with systolic dysfunction, different ventricular filling patterns are associated with different prognoses. [revespcardiol.org]
Myelopathy-related priapism potentiated by the Valsalva maneuver can be easily overlooked without heightened vigilance, leading to poor therapeutic response and prognosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Age Persons of any age can be affected. [7] Prognosis Prognosis is generally good, as complete recovery of vision (with observation) usually occurs within weeks to months following onset. [emedicine.com]
Complications associated with laser membranotomy include macular hole, retinal detachment, and epiretinal membrane formation. [7] [8] Prognosis Good prognosis with complete recovery to baseline vision after resolution occurring within weeks to months [eyewiki.aao.org]
Etiology
The association of valvular insufficiency and longer reflux times with the occurrence of a trigger event further suggests that cerebral venous congestion is an important etiological factor in transient global amnesia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
ORIGINAL COMMUNICATION First Online: 07 July 2005 Abstract Objective While transient global amnesia (TGA) is a clinically well defined disorder, its etiology is poorly understood. [doi.org]
Etiology It occurs after an increase in intrathoracic or intraabdominal pressure due to activities such as coughing, vomiting, lifting, straining for a bowel movement, strenuous exertion, sexual intercourse, labor, blowing musical instruments and compression [eyewiki.aao.org]
Ventricular dysfunction was due to an ischemic etiology in the majority of cases (26), 6 patients had dilated cardiomyopathy and 5 had other conditions (alcoholic or hypertensive heart disease). [revespcardiol.org]

You see, like most things in the human body, the response to the Valsalva maneuver is nuanced and extraordinarily complex. ( Editor's note: while all the details behind the Valsalva’s physiology and related epidemiology is beyond the scope of this article [floelite.com]
Epidemiology Frequency The frequency of Valsalva retinopathy is difficult to ascertain considering the rare nature of the condition. United States The incidence of Valsalva retinopathy in the United States has not been reported. [emedicine.com]
Pathophysiology
The clinical relevance of this finding and the pathophysiologic implications are reviewed and discussed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Pathophysiology A sudden rise in intrathoracic or intraabdominal pressure against a closed glottis, the Valsalva’s maneuver reduces venous return to the heart and stroke volume, consequently increasing venous system pressure. [eyewiki.aao.org]
