Fatal outcome in patients with HUS may be the result of severe cardiac involvement. The present case illustrates the need for intensive supportive care, including the use of CPB, as the cardiac symptoms in HUS patients may be reversible. We suggest the monitoring of cardiac-specific enzymes, ECG and echocardiography in high-risk patients.
