Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Highlights•The authors report on PDS after pericardial drainage.•PDS is rare and can manifest as LV, biventricular, or RV failure.•Treatment is supportive, and recovery of ventricular function is expected in survivors.•The mechanisms are unclear, although many have been proposed.•Mortality is high, and PDS may occur even in small-volume pericardiocentesis.
