Doppler-detected paradoxus of mitral and tricuspid valve flows in chronic lung disease

Journal of the American College of Cardiology

Abstract

An echocardiographic Doppler study in a patient with pulsus paradoxus of respiratory origin demonstrated a large inspiratory increase of tricuspid flow velocity and a corresponding decrease of mitral flow velocity. This "flow paradoxus" is therefore not specific for cardiac tamponade, and provides evidence that decreased left ventricular filling is an important mechanism of pulsus paradoxus observed in severe chronic lung disease.
