Summary Fifty‐two infants with hypoglycaemia were seen over a 12 month period. Six of these infants had cardiac enlargement with signs of failure and pulmonary oedema in association with isolated hypoglycaemia. Signs and symptoms suggestive of cardiac failure corresponded to the period of hypoglycaemia and disappeared when blood sugar levels were raised by appropriate treatment.
