Indicates pericardial constraint effects at low pressures; leaves open translation to human tamponade pathophysiology.
In an experimental dog model, cardiac tamponade causes a fall in ventricular systolic pressures and the development of negative diastolic transmural pressures.
Fowler et al. (1959) studied this question.
