Abstract

Severe left ventricular dysfunction after relief of massive pericardial effusion has been rarely reported. Interventricular volume mismatch, acute distention of the cardiac chambers and interplay of autonomic none system are believed to be the possible causes for ventricular dysfunction. Presenting two patients who had marked decrease in global ventricular systolic function after relief of pericardial tamponade by subxyphoid pericardial window, we recommend gradual removal of pericardial fluid under hemodynamic monitoring, especially in patient with postcardiotomy tamponade.

대량의 심낭삼출액을 제거한 뒤 발생할 수 있는 심한 좌심실 부전에 관한 보고는 많지 않다. 심실 간의 용적 차이, 심장의 갑작스런 확장 그리고 교감신경계의 작용 등이 심실기능 부전의 원인으로 생각될 수 있다. 검상돌기하 심낭창을 통해 심장 압전을 완화한 뒤 심실 기능 부전이 발생한 두 증례를 보고하면서, 특히 심장수술 후 심장 압전이 있는 환자의 경우 혈류역학을 잘 관찰하면서 심낭삼출액을 서서히 제거할 것을 제안한다.
