George JoyHany EissaRiyad Al KaroudiSteven K WhitePublished in: European heart journal. Case reports (2019)
This is the first case showing the acute CMR features of this complication and highlights the need for awareness of this rarely occurring cardiotoxicity. It also shows the potentially fatal phenomenon can be fully reversible when diagnosed and managed promptly even in patients with metastatic cancer and critical illness.
