A member asked:
What can cause left side of the heart to be swollen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several diseases: Inadequate blood flow to the heart muscle, elevated pressure in the left ventricle due to chronic heart failure or disease of the aortic valve/mitral valve (leakage or stenosis), infection that weakens the heart muscle (viral myocarditis, endocarditis), or infiltrative diseases like amyloidosis can all cause left ventricular chamber dilatation over the course of time.
