ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to describe the incidence of cardiac chamber collapse assessed by echocardiography and explore possible mechanisms in a clinical population of 116 patients with pleural effusion in the absence of pericardial effusion. We found that the frequency of chamber collapse was 18% in patients with pleural effusion in the absence of pericardial effusion, thus cardiac chamber collapse occurs in patients with pleural effusion.
