Common symptoms: Shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the legs or abdomen, and decreased exercise tolerance.

When to see a doctor? Progressive fatigue, shortness of breath, or unexplained swelling should be evaluated, since this condition requires careful follow-up.

Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the one who studies and follows up on this heart muscle condition; in children the pediatric cardiologist is involved and, depending on the case, the cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon. If you have these symptoms, seek a specialized evaluation.
