Uncertain.: If the heart enlargement occurred because of a high amount of salt with resultant hypertension, then salt restriction could reduce ones BP and reverse the heart enlargement. However, first, one must determine the underlying cause of the heart enlargement; it could be hypertension, a valve problem, or a primary heart muscle abnormality.
