Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The cardiologist is the specialist who studies and follows up on dilated cardiomyopathy, a disease of the heart muscle.
Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterized by enlargement of the heart's chambers and a decrease in the force with which it pumps blood, which affects its function.
How it can show up: Tiredness, difficulty breathing with exertion, or swelling in the legs and ankles.
Associated factors: It may be related to hereditary causes, prior infections, or other health conditions.
Because it compromises a vital function, symptoms that suggest a heart problem deserve a timely professional evaluation with a heart specialist.
