A pulmonary neoplasm caused cardiac tamponade in a 41-year-old woman. Transient ventricular dysfunction occurred post-pericardiocentesis, a rare complication prompting a review of its pathophysiology.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Oncology
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Cardiac tamponade can be the initial presentation of an undiagnosed pulmonary neoplasm.
  • Pulmonary neoplasms are a significant cause of cardiac emergencies.

Observation:

  • A 41-year-old woman presented with cardiac tamponade due to a pulmonary neoplasm.
  • Following pericardiocentesis for effusion removal, she experienced transient biventricular dysfunction and pulmonary edema.

Findings:

  • Ventricular dysfunction post-pericardiocentesis is an uncommon complication.
  • Complete recovery from transient ventricular dysfunction was observed within ten days.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering pulmonary neoplasms in patients presenting with cardiac tamponade.
