A patient was diagnosed with pneumonia due to influenza A virus mixed with bacteria and underwent intensive care with intubation and mechanical ventilation. His respiratory condition soon improved, so extubation was carried out; however, re-deterioration with pulmonary oedema occurred at half of a day following extubation. The chest x-ray revealed pulmonary oedema. The electrocardiogram pattern significantly changed with time, and the echocardiogram showed weakness of wall motion around the left ventricular apex. Hence, to confirm the diagnosis, cardiac catheterization was performed immediately.
