N2 - Fulminant myocarditis can lead to acute left ventricular dilatation and cardiogenic shock from heart failure. If hemodynamic stabilization cannot be achieved with maximized medical therapy, mechanical circulatory support becomes necessary.

He quickly recovered and was fully active during follow-up.
