[Acute left ventricular systolic dysfunction after pericardial effusion drainage].
A patient with a thymoma and initially normal ventricular systolic function developed cardiac tamponade, which was relieved by pericardiocentesis. After four days, the tumor was removed and, one week after the relief of tamponade, she developed severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction, that recovered in three days with venous therapy.
