May inform rare epinephrine toxicity cases; leaves open prospective validation beyond single report.
Bourenne et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy (inverted Takotsubo) with severe cardiogenic shock (n=1). Temporary arteriovenous circulatory support was evaluated on Recovery of myocardial stunning. Temporary arteriovenous circulatory support successfully managed severe cardiogenic shock and catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy following self-injection of epinephrine until myocardial recovery.
