Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Ischemic cardiomyopathy is an alteration of the heart muscle that occurs when it receives less blood and oxygen than it needs, usually because of a narrowing of the arteries that supply it. Over time it can affect the heart's ability to pump blood.
Common symptoms: Pain or pressure in the chest, shortness of breath, fatigue with exertion, or palpitations may occur.
Associated factors: It is related to coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, and family history.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the one who evaluates and follows up on this condition, with support from the internist when other conditions coexist. If you experience chest discomfort or difficulty breathing, seeking cardiology evaluation in time is a prudent decision.
