Heart Damage: Most silent heart attacks (those that one does not know happened) do not cause too much damage to the heart and many people are fine. But, if the heart is not beating correctly or has to work overtime to accomplish it's functions it can get extra growth or hypertrophy. It sounds like the doctor is doing all of the right testing.

Your echocardiogram: Will tell all...Cardiomegaly on chest x-ray is a rather nonspecific finding. Many hearts with previous damage remain normal in size unless damage is very significant. Your ekg may be a false positive as well...Good luck.
