An electrocardiogram at the time of admission showed sinus rhythm at 66 beats per minutes, normal PR and QTc interval and atrial sensed ventricular paced rhythm (Figure 1).
Chest X-Ray at time of admission - pulmonary venous congestion bilaterally and bilateral airspace opacities.

A chest radiograph showed pulmonary venous congestion bilaterally and bilateral airspace opacities (Figure 2) not evident an year ago (December 2010, Figure 3).

CT scan chest demonstrated extensive groundglass opacities throughout lung parenchyma with normal appearing lung parenchyma between these ground-glass opacities (Figure 4).
Follow up Chest X-Ray obtained 6 days after corticosteroid treatment showing near complete resolution of patchy airspace opacities bilaterally.

Repeat chest x-ray on day 7 of hospitalization showed near complete resolution of previously described ground glass opacity bilaterally (Figure 5).
Chest CT scan obtained 1 month later as an outpatient demonstrates marked improvement of bilateral ground-glass opacities compatible with resolving amiodarone toxicity.

Chest CT scan done as an outpatient a month later showed marked improvement in bilateral ground-glass opacity compatible with amiodarone toxicity (Figure 6).
