Systolic Click-Murmur Syndrome treatment in Cuauhtémoc

Systolic click-murmur syndrome refers to findings on auscultation of the heart —a click followed by a murmur— that are usually related to mitral valve prolapse. It is a sign that the doctor hears during the examination.

When is it assessed? It is generally detected during a check-up and studied with heart imaging methods to understand its meaning.

Frequent symptoms: many people have no discomfort; at times it is accompanied by palpitations, fatigue, or dizziness.

Which specialist treats it? The cardiologist is the one who interprets these findings and defines the follow-up; in children, the pediatric cardiologist is the one indicated, and the internist can guide the first evaluation. If you were told of a murmur or a click, discussing it with a cardiologist clears up doubts.
