Above: Figures 26-28. Mild to moderate pericardial effusion (11 mm). 2D (Figure 27) and M-mode (Figure 28) quantification.
Below: Figures 29-34. Severe diffuse effusion without tamponade. There is collapse of the RA and RV walls (Figure 33) without paradoxical pulse. Note the “swinging heart” sign that can be observed from all views. Figure 34 shows a dilated inferior vena cava with preserved inspiratory collapse (= normal estimated RA pressure).
