What does having a large heart mean for a person?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Find cause: I'm a pathologist and get asked this a lot. Here's the real facts. If you're fat, you will have an enlarged heart. This isn't why it's bad to be fat. If you are a competitive athlete in a speed / fitness sport, you will have an enlarged heart. That is good. Untreated high blood pressure produces an enlarged heart, several diseases make it big, and it tends to enlarge before it fails. Find which.
