Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle in which one of its chambers enlarges and loses the strength to pump blood efficiently. As it weakens, the heart works harder to fulfill its function.

Symptoms that may appear: tiredness, difficulty breathing with exertion or when lying down, swelling in the legs, and palpitations.

When to seek care? If you notice unusual fatigue or shortness of breath that does not improve, a cardiology evaluation helps understand what is happening.

Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the professional who studies dilated cardiomyopathy, and in children the pediatric cardiologist. Faced with symptoms like those described, seeing the specialist promptly is the best decision for your cardiovascular health.
