Abstract

We recently experienced a case of cardiogenic shock due to influenza-related Takotsubo cardiomyopathy with atrial tachycardia and respiratory distress syndrome. Temporary mechanical circulatory support by IMPELLA 2.5 improved end-organ failure and resulted in cardiac recovery with sinus rhythm conversion.

Keywords: Mechanical circulatory support; Stress cardiomyopathy; Supraventricular tachycardia; Ventricular assist device.
