Administration of vitamin B1 rapidly stabilized hemodynamics and allowed weaning from V-A ECMO in a patient with Shoshin beriberi presenting with acute right heart failure and shock.
Case Report (n=1)
Shoshin beriberi is a critical differential diagnosis for unexplained acute right heart failure and shock, as prompt vitamin B1 supplementation can rapidly reverse hemodynamic collapse.

Kawahara et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Shoshin beriberi with acute right heart failure and renal failure (n=1). Vitamin B1 (Fursultiamine) was evaluated on Hemodynamic stabilization. Administration of vitamin B1 rapidly stabilized hemodynamics and allowed weaning from V-A ECMO in a patient with Shoshin beriberi presenting with acute right heart failure and shock.
