Is BP high?: It all depends on the degree of obstruction of that (and other) arteries. GENERALLY, a low fat diet, active lifestyle, blood pressure control, and statin drugs are recommended to prevent heart attacks; your doctor may add several other things, based on the medical history. But it takes more than just a single atheromatous artery to cause heart enlargement. Is blood pressure high?
