Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
It is a good idea to see a cardiologist when symptoms appear such as shortness of breath with exertion, palpitations, dizziness, or fainting, because they may point toward hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This is a condition in which the heart muscle thickens more than usual, which can make it harder for the heart to fill and pump blood normally.
Origin of the condition: In many cases it has a hereditary component, so it can appear in several members of the same family.
Possible manifestations: Some people notice no symptoms for years, while others have fatigue, chest pain, or a sensation of irregular heartbeats.
Who evaluates it? The cardiologist, and for minors the pediatric cardiologist, are the professionals suited to study the heart in depth. If you have a family history or symptoms, the sensible thing is to have it checked with one of them.
