Cardiac arrest as a manifestation of unknown Type V glycogenosis: a case report

Abstract

Abstract Few cases have been reported to date, in which a massive rhabdomyolysis causes a cardiac arrest in a male adult suffering from undiagnosed McArdle disease. Veno‐arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and cytokine adsorption filter (CytoSorb®) were required to reach a complete and successful recovery.
