We describe a case of new onset movement disorder in a patient with ventricular tachycardia storm supported with peripheral VA ECMO. The differential diagnosis of abnormal movements in a post cardiac arrest patient requiring temporary mechanical circulatory support for cardiogenic shock is explored.
