Abstract
In infants with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) on extr acorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), conventional treatment with in otropes, fluid restriction, and diuretics may be detrimental. This cas e reports an infant of a diabetic mother with HOCM on ECMO illustratin g beneficial effects of beta adrenergic blockade and increased fluid a dministration.
