What is a borderline size heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heart size: A borderline heart size means that your heart is on the larger side of normal. For example, if you were to rate normal heart size on a scale of 1 to 10, your heart would rate a 9 or 10. Note that this is still in the normal range for heart size. Usually, an increased heart size is due to hypertension. Thus, it is important for you keep your blood pressure down to avoid further heart enlargement.
