Abstract

We report a case of cardiac beriberi in a 76-year-old man who was hospitalized with a congestive condition of subacute onset, diagnosed as high-output heart failure associated with severe tricuspid regurgitation and indication for caval valve implantation, which, after thiamine replacement, resulted in improvement of all conditions. (Level of Difficulty: Beginner.).

Keywords: beriberi; heart failure; thiamine deficiency; tricuspid valve insufficiency.
