Amyloid cardiomyopathy is characterized by non-dilated thick-walled left ventricular, thickening of interventricular septum and right ventricular free wall, biatrial enlargement associated with granular 'sparkling' appearance of the myocardium. Typically, decreased left ventricular compliance results in abnormal diastolic functions but left ventricular systolic functions are preserved until lat...

Cardiac arrest in the adolescent population secondary to congenital heart disease (CHD) is rare. Focused cardiac ultrasound (FoCUS) in the emergency department (ED) can yield important clinical information, aid in resuscitative efforts during cardiac arrest and is commonly integrated into the evaluation of patients with pulseless electrical activity (PEA). We report a case of pediatric cardiac ...
