Reviewed: Dr. Mera
An enlarged heart, also called cardiomegaly, is a condition caused by an underlying disorder that causes the heart to increase in size.
Cardiomegaly may be a hereditary condition. It may also develop if the heart is unable to pump adequate blood due to conditions like pregnancy, weakened heart muscle, heart valve issues, coronary heart disease, and thickening of heart muscles.
The heart enlarges in a quest to pump more blood and thereby transport enough oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. The condition can be temporary or chronic. Below are 10 symptoms of an enlarged heart.
