  • Title: [Cardiac tamponade with the absence of a paradoxical pulse. The practical utility of echocardiography].
    Author: Zamorano J, Vilacosta I, Almería C, Alonso L, Batlle E, Conde A, Castillo JA, Peral V, Sánchez-Harguindey L.
    Journal: Rev Esp Cardiol; 1995 Jun; 48(6):443-5. PubMed ID: 9324696.
    Abstract:
    A patient with cardiac tamponade but without hypotension and pulsus paradoxus is reported. In this patient, echocardiography confirmed the diagnosis of cardiac tamponade, showing diastolic collapse of the right ventricle and also the presence of an atrial septal defect (ostium secundum) that explains the absence of pulsus paradoxus. The role of echocardiography in those rare clinical situations that in the presence of cardiac tamponade showed no pulsus paradoxus are discussed.
