A member asked:
Is it possible for an enlarged spleen to push on the heart?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Anything possible: But this would be extremely unlikely. The two areas are separated by the diaphragm and the spleen would have to be huge to be pushing up the diaphragm sufficiently to interfere with the heart. And we are talking huge! look for some other causes.
