Case report highlights heart failure with severe LVEF and QTc prolongation in wet beriberi, suggesting monitoring is crucial.

Severe thiamine deficiency led to wet beriberi and a severe reduction in LVEF to 25%.
The patient exhibited a prolonged QTc of 650 msec along with lactic acidosis (lac 6 mMol/L).
Empiric high-dose IV thiamine treatment resulted in significant improvement in symptoms and LV function within 24 hours.
QTc prolongation should be monitored in cases of Wernicke’s encephalopathy with heart dysfunction.

A 2025 study studied this question.
