ABSTRACT
Isolated collapse of the left ventricle (LV) in diastole is not a very common finding on two-dimensional echocardiography. Reported cases in the literature were due to either loculated postoperative pericardial effusion/hematoma or left pleural effusion. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of LV diastolic collapse secondary to extra-thoracic compression.
