Is it possible for a 16 year old to develope an enlarged heart ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Yes, it is possible for a teenager to develop an enlarged heart. The most common reason is a condition known as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. This condition is felt to be associated with sudden death in athletes as well. An enlarged heart is nothing to ignore. He needs to be seeing a pediatric cardiologist ASAP if he hasn't seen one already.
