Common causes: It is frequently related to infections, especially of viral origin, though it can also be due to reactions of the immune system or other factors.

Common symptoms: It can cause fatigue, shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations, or a sensation of tiredness disproportionate to the exertion.

Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist, and in children the pediatric cardiologist, evaluates the functioning of the heart and guides the necessary studies. When there is chest pain, difficulty breathing, or irregular heartbeats, seeking medical evaluation without delay is the most sensible choice.
