Myxomatous Mitral Valve treatment in León

A myxomatous mitral valve is an alteration in which the tissue of this heart valve becomes looser and more bulging than normal, which can keep it from closing properly. As a result, part of the blood may flow back within the heart.

Possible signs: palpitations, fatigue, shortness of breath with exertion or, in many cases, no symptoms for a long time.

When to seek care? Frequent palpitations or unusual tiredness justify a heart checkup.

Which specialist evaluates it? The cardiologist studies how the heart valves work and, in children, the pediatric cardiologist does so. If you experience irregular heartbeats or fatigue with no clear explanation, the reasonable thing is to discuss it with a cardiologist who evaluates the state of your heart.
