Pericardial and Pleural Effusions in Congestive Heart Failure-Anatomical, Pathophysiologic, and Clinical Considerations
چکیده انگلیسی
Transudative pleural and pericardial effusions are not uncommon in patients with congestive heart failure. Pericardial effusion forms only with elevation of the right-sided filling pressure in the heart. In patients with biventricular failure, there is no evidence that elevated left-sided pressure, in the absence of elevated right-sided pressure, can cause a pericardial effusion. Pleural effusion forms with acute elevation of the right-sided or the left-sided filling pressure in the heart. In patients with congestive heart failure, elevated right-sided filling pressures are less common than elevated left-sided filling pressures, thus, explaining a lower prevalence of pericardial than pleural effusions. Pleural effusions in patients with congestive heart failure are typically bilateral. However, a unilateral pleural effusion is more commonly seen on the right side. Although multiple theories attempt to explain the right-sided preponderance of pleural effusion, to date, no mechanism has been universally accepted or experimentally proven.
