A member asked:
A recent ct scan showed dilated cardiomyopathy, but the doctor didn't mention it. does the mention of it on the report mean that it's a diagnosis?

No: See your doctor of cardiologist. A CT can show and enlarged heart, but that can be for multiple reasons. CT showing evidence of enlarged heart is not diagnostic of cardiomyopathy.
