Abstract
A case of shock and pulmonary embolism in a 57-year-old woman is descr ibed in which hemodynamics were unresponsive both to usual therapy (vo lume loading, dobutamine, thrombolysis) and then to norepinephrine. Ep inephrine proved to be effective, above all by strong beta1-inotropic effect.
