Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy treatment in Santiago de Querétaro

The name usually refers to hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, a condition in which the heart muscle thickens abnormally and obstructs the flow of blood out of the left ventricle.

Who treats it? It is the cardiologist who studies and follows this disorder, since it requires a detailed evaluation of how the heart functions.

Common symptoms:

• Shortness of breath with exertion
• Pain or pressure in the chest
• Palpitations or a feeling of faintness

Origin: In many cases it has a hereditary component, so it is advisable to review family history. If chest symptoms or fainting occur during physical activity, it is prudent for a cardiologist to carry out a careful evaluation.
