Enlarged heart - what does that mean?

[@DavidRanalli]

Elasticity! I've been trying to figure out what people mean by valves "wearing out" and you just answered it. Thank you sir you're a life saver.

[@bonnierobinson8684]

Thank for this information, my Dad died when I was 9 years old. My mother said he had an enlarged heart and the his valves had become too large, a surgeon her in Salt Lake City, Utah tried to help him but he died shortly after walking up from the surgery. The Doctor said his heart was the size of a football. Please don't delay seeing your doctor for this condition. My father was turned away from the Mayo Clinic because they said they could not help him. A local Dr. here in Utah performed a valve replacement but my father could not survive the second surgery.

I was diagnosed with an enlarged heart last Thursday after a stress test on the treadmill and an ecosonogram right afterwards but my cardio doctor didn't really explain it too well. He just doubled my bp medication. Metoprolol from 50 to 100. I was so worried about it but I feel a little better after I saw your video, thanks.

When I was diagnosed with heart problems, my doctor failed to answer the questions I was too stunned to think to ask, too. Next appointment, ask him to explain causes of enlargement and other issues and give you the specific medical name for his diagnosis of your heart problems. Gives you something to look up.

[@michaelbutler3781]

I begin to believe that many, maybe most people, do not want details on their condition. There are, however analyticals who understand physics, maybe biology, electronics, mechanical, process control and automation, and troubleshooting. Decades ago a physical (a GP I guess) suggested I had an enlarged heart but I was young and it was lamely dismissed by the first cardiologist (my parents' doctor) I ever had. That one looked at an x-ray and held up his fist and rotated it, obviously implying the old "rule of thumb" we seemed to hear that one's heart should be about as large as one's fist. I left it at that. Eventually I left that one because he would become irritated when I had questions and brought in things that I was trying to reconcile (build into my mental model) for my understanding. He felt that I was questioning his evaluation. This occurred more than once, not discussing me, rather Mom and Dad. I have had my current cardiologist for I guess 30 or more years. He told me I had an enlarged heart. Of course I asked where and how, and whether it was as compared to prior Echo Cardiograms and other tests or applying "standards" to my most recent echo. He started with saying it was the "muscle" so I asked, "the wall or septum" to which he said responded to the effect of "septum, well actually the whole muscle". Another visit he pointed to a drawing, indicating my upper right, quadrant that I inferred as possibly the descending aorta. The next time he said it was on top of the heart in a more or less horizontal part of the vessel. Such vague and conflicting information is what bugs me. I expect other factors are involved, such as what I did at work and play as I was growing up, ancestral lineage perhaps, heart rhythm and rates, blood pressure, responses to stress, and many others. I'll get another to look and hopefully find one who will explain my specific condition as you have so well in general here. Thanks!

Hope you found your answers.

I decided to go to the doctor and I had all my test including holters and echo. After all the test, I was diagnosed with cardiac arrythmia - PAC and PVC. My doctor suspects that the cause of my PVCs is because i have a dilated ventricle and dilated atrium (moderate enlarge heart). I have high cholesterol and triglycerides too. My doctor gave me (metoprolol) beta blockers 25mg and was divided into 4 (6mg per day) for my palpitations and in 3 weeks of medications nothing was change and i feel its getting worse day by day. Is this can be cure? How worse is my heart? Is my enlarge heart reversible and can back to normal? Is this an early sign of cardiomyopathy? I so worried right now because my PVC don't stop.

justin yelverton i share the exact same anxiety. I vlog about my crazy health anxiety as well. I have extreme anxiety over cardiac issues. So I feel u!

Hi Justin , My advise is : besides all the physiological tests you're doing for your heart please consider targeting your health anxiety . Usually anxious people get more health problems than relaxed people . Please see a psychologist to treat your anxiety asap. You might end up having no health issues after you treat your anxiety

Me too, ask your doctor if you can take xanax.

I'm very very concerned and my cardiologist won't explain to me what's going on. I'm 61-years old and I've already had two major heart attacks one in 2012 and another in 2014 they had to place two-stents in my Right Coronary Artery and I've had extreme high blood pressure for three-years my recent blood pressure was 167 over 110 and A stress test was done on July 28th and it showed that my right and left Atrial are enlarged along with hypertrophy along with 35% plaque build up in my left ventricle AND I also have an inferior scar on my heart from possible heart attacks that I didn't even know that I've had I'VE BEEN TAKING HEART MEDICATIONS SUCH AS CARVEDILOL BUT THEY DON'T HELP PLEASE SOMEONE EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT DOES ALL OF THIS MEAN

Best advise is to ask for second opinion or fly to York after getting an appointment with this doctor.
