Restrictive Cardiomyopathy
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Restrictive cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle in which the walls of the heart become stiff and lose the ability to relax and fill with blood normally.
Common symptoms: Shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the legs or abdomen, and decreased exercise tolerance.
When to see a doctor? Progressive fatigue, shortness of breath, or unexplained swelling should be evaluated, since this condition requires careful follow-up.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the one who studies and follows up on this heart muscle condition; in children the pediatric cardiologist is involved and, depending on the case, the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon. If you have these symptoms, seek a specialized evaluation.
