Abstract

Few cases have been reported to date, in which a massive rhabdomyolysis causes a cardiac arrest in a male adult suffering from undiagnosed McArdle disease. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and cytokine adsorption filter (CytoSorb®) were required to reach a complete and successful recovery.

Keywords: Cardiac arrest; CytoSorb®; ECMO; Exercise intolerance; Myoglobinuria; Myophosphorylase deficiency; Renal failure; Rhabdomyolysis.
