Cardiomyopathies
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Cardiomyopathies are a group of diseases that affect the heart muscle and change its ability to pump blood efficiently. There are different types depending on how the heart tissue is altered.
Possible manifestations: These may include shortness of breath with exertion, fatigue, palpitations, or swelling in the legs; in certain cases they produce no obvious symptoms for a good while, until the heart begins to strain.
Common causes: Some have a hereditary component, while others are related to infections, metabolic conditions, high blood pressure, or other heart conditions.
Which specialist treats them? The cardiologist is the professional in charge of evaluating them and providing follow-up; in childhood the pediatric cardiologist takes part along with the pediatrician. With cardiac symptoms that persist, recur, or worry you, it is advisable to see a cardiologist for a timely evaluation and appropriate follow-up.
