water hammer pulse, collapsing pulse, tachycardia, bradycardia, pulsus paradoxus

Can Barometric pressure effect asthma?
During an asthma attack, your bronchioles (tubes that carry air into your lungs) constrict and air cannot pass through them as freely. In order to make up for this loss in cross sectional area, a person needs to breathe harder to get enough oxygen. The way you do that is to expand your thoracic wall with more force (when you breathe, your muscles stretch your rib cage out and air is sucked in through your trachea and into your bronchioles, eventually making its way into your alveoli where gas exchange occurs). This creates a negative pressure in the thoracic cavity at a greater magnitude than normal. Increased negative pressure in the thoracic cavity will result in decreased filling of the left ventricle of your heart because the blood will preferentially remain in the lung due to the negative pressure "sucking" it back as opposed to moving into the left atrium (the left atrium holds the blood before it enters the left ventricle, which is the chamber that pumps blood out to the peripheral parts of your body such as your arms, legs, and head). This decreased end diastolic volume (volume in the ventricle after it has finished filling) is going to result in a lower stroke volume (volume of blood expelled from the heart during contraction). If you have a lower stroke volume, you are not pushing as much blood into your arteries and the pressure will, naturally, be lower than normal. Your body will try to compensate for this decrease in pressure by increasing heart rate (known as the baroreceptor reflex) and by constricting arterioles to increase peripheral resistance, but these efforts are not enough to fully counteract the effects of the pulsus paradoxus. Thus, during an asthma attack your blood pressure will be decreased.
Cardiac tamponade?
DefinitionCardiac tamponade is compression of the heart that occurs when blood or fluid builds up in the space between the myocardium (heart muscle) and the pericardium (outer covering sac of the heart).Alternative NamesTamponade; Pericardial tamponadeCauses, incidence, and risk factorsIn this condition, blood or fluid collects in the pericardium. This prevents the ventricles from expanding fully. The excess pressure from the fluid prevents the heart from functioning normally.Cardiac tamponade can occur due to:Dissecting aortic aneurysm (thoracic)End-stage lung cancerHeart attack (acute MI)Heart surgeryPericarditiscaused by bacterial or viral infectionsWounds to the heartOther potential causes include:Heart tumorsHypothyroidismKidney failurePlacement of central linesRadiation therapy to the chestRecent invasive heart proceduresRecent open heart surgerySystemic lupus erythematosusCardiac tamponade occurs in approximately 2 out of 10,000 people.SymptomsAnxiety, restlessnessChest painRadiating to the neck, shoulder, back, or abdomenSharp, stabbingWorsened by deep breathing or coughingDifficulty breathingDiscomfort, sometimes relieved by sitting upright or leaning forwardFainting, light-headednessPale, gray, or blue skinPalpitationsRapid breathingSwelling of the abdomen or other areasOther symptoms that may occur with this disorder:DizzinessDrowsinessLow blood pressureWeak or absent pulseSigns and testsThere are no specific laboratory tests that diagnose tamponade. Echocardiogram is typically used to help establish the diagnosis.Signs:Blood pressure may fall (pulsus paradoxical) when the person inhales deeplyBreathing may be rapid (faster than 12 breaths in an adult per minute)Heart rate may be over 100 (normal is 60 to 100 beats per minute)Heart sounds are faint during examination with a stethoscopeNeck veins may be abnormally extended (distended) but the blood pressure may be lowPeripheralpulses may be weak or absentOther tests may include:Chest CT or MRI of chestChest x-rayCoronary angiographyECGTreatmentCardiac tamponade is an emergency condition that requires hospitalization.The fluid around the heart must be drained. Pericardiocentesis is a procedure that uses a needle to remove fluid from the pericardial sac, the tissue that surrounds the heart.A procedure to cut and remove part of the pericardium (surgical pericardiectomy or pericardial window) may also be done.Fluids are given to maintain normal blood pressure until pericardiocentesis can be performed. Medications that increase blood pressure may also help sustain the patient's life until the fluid is drained.The patient may be given oxygen. This reduces the workload on the heart by decreasing tissue demands for blood flow.The cause of the tamponade must be identified and treated.Expectations (prognosis)Tamponade is life-threatening if untreated. The outcome is often good if the condition is treated promptly, but tamponade may come back.ComplicationsHeart failurePulmonary edemaDeathCalling your health care providerGo to the emergency room or call the local emergency number (such as 911) if symptoms develop. Cardiac tamponade is an emergency condition requiring immediate attention.PreventionMany cases are not preventable. Awareness of your personal risk factors may allow early diagnosis and treatment.ReferencesJacob R, Grimm RA. Pericardial disease. In: Carey WD, ed.
