Abstract

We describe a newborn who had echocardiogaphic features of severe hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and duct-dependent systemic blood flow. Blood flow to the upper body could be maintained only by prostaglandin El, as in the case of hypoplastic left heart syndrome. Forward flow was gradually established from the left ventricle, and the patient weaned from prostaglandin El. Although the patient's mother had poorly controlled diabetes, the patient at 24 months of age shows residual but lessened ventricular hypertrophy and increased cavity size.
