10 Enlarged Heart Symptoms
Symptom #5: Irregular Heartbeat
Arrhythmia is the most dangerous symptom of cardiomegaly because it can cause death. Arrhythmia does not merely mean changes in heartbeats. It is not like the change that happens due to exercise or emotions such as stress. Arrhythmia means that the change in heartbeat has no apparent reason.
Some people think that arrhythmia means that your heart is going to beat faster. This is a common myth. Arrhythmia means a change such that your heart beats faster, known as tachycardia, or slower which is known as bradycardia. Cardiomegaly means that all the chambers of the heart are enlarged, although the source of arrhythmia may be the top chambers known as atria, or the bottom chambers called ventricles. It can also occur above the ventricles, in which case it is called supraventricular. An irregular heartbeat is a dangerous sign for which reason you should visit a doctor as soon as possible.
