Popis: Key Clinical Message Even if cardiac rhythm deteriorated to asystole in the clinical course of fulminant myocarditis, cardiac function may recover, and the patient may be discharged without brain damage, if circulation could be maintained by appropriate mechanical cardiac supports. 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 38 h‐lasting asystole, his heart resumed beating. He was discharged without neurological deficits on Day 25.
