title: Arterial Discordance in Cardiac Tamponade.
abstract: Ventricular interdependence is a salient hemodynamic feature of cardiac tamponade that manifests as discordance between the left and right ventricles in filling and ejection on hemodynamic assessment. Ventricular interdependence can manifest as arterial discordance at the level of the great arteries.
