A member asked:

What is the difference between right ventricular mild enlargement and cardiomyopathy? or is it basically the same,thing?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cardiomyopathy: right ventricular enlargement is a size measure, cardiomyopathy is an abnormality of the heart muscle. They are not the same thing though cardiomyopathies can cause chamber enlargement.
