My doctor wants blood work done evet two weeks for platlet counts . what does this mean inlarge heart, past liver dease, was a smoker 30 years, ?

Depends: Thrombocytopenia is commonly seen in patients with cirrhosis or impaired liver function. There isn't as much a correlation with cardiomegaly (large heart). If your doctor is concerned with your plat count as a sign of synthetic function, he may also be interested in your coags and lipid panel.
