Thiamine deficiency presents as dry and wet beriberi. Wet beriberi is a complication of the cardiovascular system. Acute form of wet beriberi known as Shoshin beriberi is an acute presentation of cardiogenic shock which is rapidly reversed with thiamine administration. Here we present successful management of intraoperative acute decompensated heart failure, probably due to thiamine deficiency.
