Enlarged heart.: Many people have enlarged hearts and tortuous thoracic aorta. The most important thing is to keep your follow up appointments with your physician, and cardiologist. If you don't have one, then you need to get one.

Enlarged heart: It is better you have it looked at it by a Cardiologist. This sounds like a Xray finding. Heart size could be better evaluated by other nonivasive testings like echocardiogram.
