Sažetak
Transient ventricular dysfunction (TVD) is rare and potentially fatal complication of pericardiocentesis (PCC). Some authors refer to it as a pericardial decompression syndrome, others call it the stress cardiomyopathy (SCM). The most prevalent pathophysiologic hypothesis states that sudden increase in ventricular preload with concomitantly increased afterload (sympathetic drive) leads to TVD.1-3 We present a case of asymptomatic TVD with classical features of SCM after PCC for imminent cardiac tamponade.
