Ischemic Cardiomyopathy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
It starts with the cardiologist when the heart shows signs of weakened pumping after problems in its arteries: ischemic cardiomyopathy is damage to the heart muscle resulting from insufficient blood flow to the heart itself.
What is it? It is the deterioration of the heart's ability to pump blood, related to reduced flow in the arteries that nourish it.
Common symptoms: Fatigue, shortness of breath, swelling in the legs, and palpitations are among the most common manifestations.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist handles the evaluation and follow-up, and the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon steps in for specific situations. If you notice these symptoms, the safest thing is to have them evaluated by a heart professional.
