Abstract
A 69-year-old man was diagnosed with fulminant myocarditis with circulatory collapse. His cardiac rhythm deteriorated to asystole on the second day; however, circulatory status was maintained through extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and intra-aortic balloon pumping. After 38h-lasting asystole, his heart resumed beating. He was discharged without neurological deficits on day 25.
