2. Figure 1
Right atrial (RA), right ventricular (RV), and left ventricular (LV) pressure pulses. A and B, The early diastolic dip became more prominent after pericardiocentesis in both the ventricular and atrial pressure waveforms compared with waveforms before pericardiocentesis. C, The dip-and-plateau pattern improved after visceral pericardiectomy.

3. Figure 2
Simultaneous pressure tracing of the aorta (Ao) and right atrium (RA) during normal respiration after pericardiocentesis (A) and after total visceral and parietal pericardiectomy (B). Neither the Kussmaul sign nor the paradoxical pulse changed after pericardiocentesis, but both improved after total pericardiectomy. Exp = expiration; Insp = inspiration.
