Key result

The concept of cardiac tamponade in pericardial effusion is historically derived from animal models showing obstructed venous inflow, though actual cardiac output measurements were lacking.

Population

1 patient with pericardial effusion

Implication

Human cardiac output data in effusion extends animal models; leaves open dominant tamponade mechanisms.

Study Design

Type

Case Report (n=1)

Structured PICO

P
Population
A single case report discussing the mechanism of cardiac failure and cardiac output in pericardial effusion.
O
Outcome
Cardiac output

This case report discusses the measurement of cardiac output in a patient with pericardial effusion, providing clinical context to historical experimental models of cardiac tamponade.

Cite This Study

C. M. Fletcher (1945) conducted a case report in Pericardial effusion (n=1). Pericardial effusion was evaluated. The concept of cardiac tamponade in pericardial effusion is historically derived from animal models showing obstructed venous inflow, though actual cardiac output measurements were lacking.
