Abstract

Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a powerful tool for cardio respiratory support in cardiogenic shock. A 24 year old female patient was admitted with acute heart failure due to amphetamine use and emotional stress leading to cardiac arrest. After successful treatment with ECLS the patient was discharged from hospital at day 14.
