Emergent bedside TTE revealed severe LV systolic dysfunction (LVEF = 25%) and akinesia of the base and mid inferior, base and mid septal, and mid posterior segments as well as large pericardial effusion associated with diastolic collapse of the RV, RV outflow tract, and right atrium (Figures 1 & 2).
