Key result
In a patient with massive uremic pericardial effusion, respiration was associated with a pendulum-like swinging septal motion that dramatically altered right and left ventricular volumes.

Alerts clinicians to respiratory septal swing in uremic effusion; case report leaves generalizability and mechanism open.
Case Report (n=1)
Echocardiography demonstrates a pendulum-like motion of the interventricular septum during respiration in massive pericardial effusion, reflecting ventricular volume changes associated with pulsus paradoxus.
Warren et al. (1975) conducted a case report in Massive uremic pericardial effusion and pulsus paradoxus (n=1). Respiration was evaluated on Ventricular volume changes and swinging septal position. In a patient with massive uremic pericardial effusion, respiration was associated with a pendulum-like swinging septal motion that dramatically altered right and left ventricular volumes.
