ALCAPA Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
ALCAPA syndrome is an uncommon congenital heart condition in which the left coronary artery arises from the pulmonary artery instead of the aorta, which disrupts the supply of oxygenated blood to the heart muscle.
The one who guides care for this condition is the pediatric cardiologist, along with the cardiologist and the pediatrician, since it is usually detected in the first months of life and requires specialized heart evaluation.
How it can show up: You may notice irritability or crying during feeding, sweating, rapid breathing, and difficulty gaining weight in infants.
When should you seek care? With signs of fatigue while feeding, pale coloring, or labored breathing in a baby, a timely medical review is important.
An evaluation with the heart specialist makes it possible to understand the individual case and define the most suitable follow-up.
