Successful Treatment of Near Fatal Cardiogenic Shock Following Toxic Mushroom Ingestion.

ABSTRACT: Myocardial injury and hemodynamic compromise following toxic mushroom ingestion is rare. Here we present a case of cardiogenic shock after Amanita proxima ingestion, presenting with severe hemodynamic collapse necessitating mechanical circulatory support. Prompt identification, multidisciplinary clinical decision making, and timely treatment resulted in an outstanding complete clinical resolution. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
