Figure 2. (A) An apical four-chamber pulsed-wave Doppler transthoracic echocardiogram recording of mitral valve inflow velocities varying abnormally/excessively with respiration suggesting ventricular interdependence and (B) an image from the subcostal view showing right ventricular inversion, both showing a large circumferential pericardial effusion with elements consistent with cardiac tamponade physiology. LA – left atrium; LV – left ventricle; PE – pericardial effusion; RA – right atrium; RV – right ventricle.
