Alerts to biventricular changes in effusion; leaves open validation of tamponade risk models.
How does pericardial effusion alter biventricular mechanics and myocardial fiber stress compared to healthy controls?
Patient-specific computational modeling demonstrates that pericardial effusion restricts right ventricular diastolic filling and alters myocardial fiber stress, providing a mechanical basis for the progression to cardiac tamponade.
Scardulla et al. (2015) studied this question.
