Abstract

Doppler echocardiography has become the imaging technique of choice for urgent bedside assessment of the haemodynamic significance of pericardial effusion. However, classical findings such as respiratory variation in trans-mitral and trans-tricuspid velocities and plethoric inferior vena cava are not pathognomonic of tamponade and may be seen in non-cardiac diseases such as obesity and obstructive airways disease. Thus, ancillary findings are sometimes of clinical value. This case illustrates the classical changes seen in the flow profile of the superior vena cava, which reflect the changes seen in the jugular venous pulse waveform, before and after pericardiocentesis.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 June 2022.
All research outputs
#4,461,439
of 23,986,470 outputs
Outputs from Echo Research & Practice
#108
of 248 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#78,072
of 332,026 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Echo Research & Practice
#6
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,986,470 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 81st percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 248 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 11.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 332,026 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its contemporaries.
