ABSTRACT
We had a recent admission in our clinic of a 33-year-old man with a frontal fracture after a syncope-related hit. The patient happened to have an acute massive pulmonary embolism with severe right ventricular failure, with final survival after seven days in hospital, including three days of intensive care. This young man is a bodybuilder with gymstrain training tailored by an instructor and a nutritionist who prescribed polypharmacy including clenbuterol, oxymetholone, carnitine betaine anhydrous, L-carnitine tartrate, glycine propionyl L-carnitine, creatine, and glutamine, plus several plant-based powders.
