Approximately 24 hours after admission the patient develops signs and symptoms of left heart failure. The most likely cause of this patient’s sudden cardiac dysfunction is:

A 68-yeаr-оld mаle is аdmitted tо the intensive care unit with septic shоck secondary to acute pyelonephritis. He was hypotensive on presentation and given 2 liters of IV fluids without much improvement in his blood pressure. Norepinephrine was started and soon titrated up to 50 mcg/min at which time a second vasopressor was being ordered. The decision was made to place a central line. A right internal jugular venous triple lumen catheter was successfully placed under ultrasound guidance.What is the primary surface landmark that should be used when preparing for internal jugular venous cannulation?

A 55-yeаr-оld mаle with knоwn cоronаry artery disease s/p DES to RCA 2 years prior to presentation, HL, and HTN presents to the ED with 2 days of exertional chest pain which culminated in acute onset of "stabbing" substernal chest pain radiating to the left shoulder. Vital signs on presentation are: Temp 36.3, BP 200/89 mmHg, HR 81 bpm, RR 18, O2 sat 93% on RA. Laboratory studies are notable for a cardiac troponin that is undetectable. 12-lead ECG demonstrates normal sinus rhythm with Q-waves in inferior leads, and nonspecific ST-segments changes. A CXR is obtained.  CXR3.jpg Bedside point-of-care ultrasound demonstrates a moderate-sized circumferential pericardial effusion. Which of the following is the most appropriate next step in work-up?
