“…With large effusions no change of heart shape with posture is seen and fluoroscopy does not always differentiate between a dilated heart with feeble movements (for instance, due to heart failure or myocarditis) and the grossly damped pulsations due to an effusion. Levene and Kaufman (1951) studied the anatomy of the pericardium and the shape of the pericardial shadow as effusions develop. Like others, they found that it could usually accommodate 250ml.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
