Impact of pericardial effusion on cardiac mechanics in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy
Dilated cardiomyopathy (CDM) is a degenerative disease of the myocardium accompanied by left
ventricular (LV) remodeling, resulting in an impaired pump performance. Differently, pericardial effusion
(PE) is a liquid accumulation in the pericardial cavity, which may inhibit blood filling of heart chambers.
Clinical evidence show that PE may improve pump performance in patients with CDM. Therefore, this
study aims to assess wall stress and global function of patients with CDM, PE as compared to healthy
patient. These findings suggests that CDM has an important implication in the mechanical changes of LV
and right ventricle by increasing wall stress and reducing pump function. Conversely, PE determines
lowering myocardial fiber stress and improves global function as compared to those of CD
