physiologic concept of ventricular interdependence‚ whereby changes in pressure‚ volume‚ and function in one ventricle influence the function of the other. The pericardium plays a pivotal role in cardiac changes during inspiration. Normally‚ as the right atrium and ventricle fill during inspiration‚ the pericardium limits the ability of the left-sided chambers to dilate. This contributes to the bowing of the atrial and ventricular septums to the left‚ which reduces left ventricular (LV) filling volumes
