AB  - Beriberi refers to a constellation of symptoms caused primarily by thiamine 
      (vitamin B1) deficiency. An acute and fulminant presentation of this rare 
      condition has been described in the literature as "Shoshin" beriberi which is 
      characterized by catastrophic cardiovascular collapse. Early recognition and 
      treatment lead to dramatic improvements of symptoms. We present a case of 
      thiamine deficiency-induced acute heart failure in a malnourished patient leading 
      to cardiac arrest necessitating VA-ECMO (venoarterial extracorporeal membrane 
      oxygenation) with improvement in heart function secondary to thiamine 
      administration.
