ABSTRACT
An acute pulmonary embolism (PE) and the apical ballooning syndrome (ABS) are both critical and need proper management during the acute stage. We experienced a case of recurrent severe dyspnea because serious right ventricular dysfunction due to PE and left ventricular dysfunction due to ABS occurred consecutively in the short-term and bedside echocardiography has an important role in management in acute settings.
