What Is a Cardiomegaly?
9. Prognosis
The prognosis for cardiomegaly depends on various factors, including the underlying cause of the condition and its severity. However, the earlier the cause of the condition is detected, the better the outcome generally is. Mild cardiomegaly isn’t as serious as severe cardiomegaly.
Some forms of cardiomegaly are permanent and are likely to become progressively worse if treatment is not received for the underlying cause. In patients with heart failure, five-year mortality from cardiomegaly is around 50%.11. Amin, A.; Siddiqui, W. (2020, Aug. 10) Cardiomegaly.
