Pulsus paradoxus in cardiac tamponade: a pathophysiologic continuum
Abstract
Pulsus paradoxus has interested physicians for more than a century. Since McGregor's comprehensive New England Journal of Medicine article in 1979, there have been no updated reviews; accordingly, we review pulsus paradoxus based on the clinical and physiologic literature and personal experience.
