Abstract
Acute fulminant myocarditis frequently causes circulatory collapse that is resistant to conventional therapy. We describe a case in which a patient with histologically confirmed viral myocarditis was supported by a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) as a bridge to recovery. The LVAD was successfully weaned 3 weeks later.
