Chest x-ray the doctor observed an enlarged heart, ekg was good, nurse said echo was good. my appt is the end of may, do i still need to be concerned.

Echo normal? : If your echo is really normal, i wouldn't be concerned at all. X-ray criteria for enlargement of the heart are anient and inexact while echo is highly accurate - within a millimeter or two. Go with the echo result!
