“…Twenty-one patients fulfilled 1 criterion for low-pressure cardiac tamponade, ie, intrapericardial pressure Ͻ7 mm Hg at baseline during tamponade. 17 Hemodynamic parameters during pericardiocentesis are summarized in Table 1 (Table 2). As shown in Table 2, compared with patients whose cardiac output did not increase after volume expansion, patients in whom volume expansion resulted in an increase in cardiac index Ͼ10% had a lower arterial pressure and lower cardiac index before volume expansion.…”

Background-Volume expansion has been proposed as an alternative treatment for cardiac tamponade; however, the scientific evidence for this recommendation is very poor. Methods and Results-Forty-nine unselected patients (23 males; age 55Ϯ16 years) with large pericardial effusion and hemodynamic tamponade underwent fluid overload with intravenous administration of 500 mL of normal saline over 10 minutes. Cardiac index and intrapericardial, left ventricular end-diastolic, right atrial, and right ventricular end-diastolic pressures were measured during basal state (tamponade), after fluid overload, and after pericardiocentesis. Twenty-eight patients (57%) had physical signs of tamponade, and 10 (20%) were hypotensive. Size of pericardial effusion was 31Ϯ13 mm. Initial mean arterial pressure was 88Ϯ21 mm Hg, and cardiac index was 2.46Ϯ0.80 L · min Ϫ1 · m

“…The intra-pericardial pressure exceeded the right atrial pressure ‘earlier’ or at ‘lower pressure’ than seen in cases without volume depletion [9]. In a retrospective analysis, low-pressure cardiac tamponade was identified in 20% of patients with catheterization-based criteria of tamponade [10]. …”

We are reporting a case of acute renal failure after cardiac surgery due to acute pericardial effusion. The patient had normal baseline renal function but developed acute oliguric renal failure with a significant increase in serum creatinine postoperatively. Pericardiotomy led to an improvement in blood pressure, immediate diuresis and quick recovery of renal function back to baseline. Pericardial tamponade should be included in the consideration of causes of the cardiorenal syndrome.

“…Quando uma quantidade significativa de líquido se acumula e ultrapassa a capacidade de distensão do tecido fibroelástico pericárdico, ocorre progressiva compressão de todas as câmaras cardíacas decorrente do aumento da pressão intrapericárdica, redução do volume de enchimento cardíaco e maior interdependência ventricular 175 .…”
