Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome treatment in Monclova

Hypoplastic left heart syndrome is a congenital heart defect in which the structures on the left side of the heart—such as the left ventricle and the aorta—do not develop completely, which limits the ability to pump blood to the body.

How it is detected: it is often identified during pregnancy on ultrasound studies, or shortly after birth from signs of circulatory difficulty.

When to see a doctor? It is a condition that requires early specialized care, so prenatal and neonatal follow-up is essential.

Which specialist treats it? Its management falls to pediatric cardiology, in coordination with the pediatrician who monitors the baby's overall condition. Having a specialized assessment as soon as possible makes it possible to plan the appropriate steps with the family.
