Abstract

Diastolic dysfunction is common in infants and neonates with left ventricular (LV) outflow tract obstruction and may lead to low-cardiac output in the postoperative period. We present a management strategy for severe postrepair diastolic dysfunction in an infant with critical congenital aortic stenosis and LV hypertrophy, employing β-blockade and levosimendan.
