Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction
Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction is a narrowing in the pathway through which the heart expels blood from its main chamber toward the aorta. This obstruction forces the heart to work harder to maintain circulation.
Common symptoms: shortness of breath on exertion, chest pain, dizziness, fainting, or palpitations; in some cases it is detected by a murmur during a check-up.
Common causes: it may be due to conditions present from birth, to thickening of the heart muscle, or to problems with the heart valves.
Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist, and in children the pediatric cardiologist, are the ones who study and follow up on this condition. Faced with symptoms such as fainting or shortness of breath on exertion, a cardiology evaluation is advisable to understand how the heart is working.
