Journal Article

Management of patients with end‐stage heart failure is still challenging. We report a case of idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy who went through a challenging course. The case was presented as acute heart failure syndrome, which rapidly declined into cardiogenic shock and cardiac arrest that required an extracorporeal membrane oxygenator, then biventricular assist device implantation for circulatory support. The course was complicated with severe gastrointestinal bleeding and multiorgan failure until achieving full cardiac and organ recovery. The left ventricle ejection fraction improved from 10% to 50% at discharge.
