At H48, the cardiac function was still worsening (LVEF <10%) (Figure 1). The biventricular function dramatically improved and allowed us to wean off invasive ventilation, amines and extracorporeal assistance within day 6 (Figure 1). Total enteral nutrition was achieved 1 week after stopping VA-ECMO (Figure 1). One month later both systolic and diastolic functions normalized (Figure 1).
