   It is also important to control heart disease risk factors including diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Exercise, pregnancy, and prior health conditions like ASD II can also promote cardiac remodeling, so routine primary care visits are important to distinguish between physiological and pathological atrial enlargement.

   However, many people live for a long time with an enlarged heart and, if detected early, treatment can help improve the condition and prolong their lives. [15] Heart failure: One of the most serious types of enlarged heart, an enlarged left ventricle, increases the risk of heart failure.

4. Right ventricular hypertrophy - Wikipedia

   On physical examination, the most prominent features are due to the development of right-sided heart failure. These can include a raised jugular venous pressure, ascites, left parasternal heave and a tender, enlarged liver on palpation. [3] On inspection, patients may be chronically ill, cyanotic, cachectic and occasionally jaundiced. [citation ...

   Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a form of heart failure in which the ejection fraction – the percentage of the volume of blood ejected from the left ventricle with each heartbeat divided by the volume of blood when the left ventricle is maximally filled – is normal, defined as greater than 50%; [1] this may be measured by echocardiography or cardiac catheterization.

   They may also perform a physical examination to check for signs of heart failure, such as an enlarged heart or fluid buildup in the lungs. [8] Dilated Cardiomyopathy Echocardiogram. In addition to the patient's medical history and physical exam, the diagnosis of alcoholic cardiomyopathy is often confirmed with various diagnostic tests. [8]

   Other considerations for causes of enlarged heart are athlete's heart and hypertension (high blood pressure). [10] Making the diagnosis of HCM often involves a family history or pedigree, an electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and stress testing. [7] Genetic testing may also be done. [7]

9. Batista procedure - Wikipedia

   The Batista procedure (also called a reduction left ventriculoplasty) was an experimental heart procedure that proposed the reversal of the effects of remodeling in cases of end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy refractory to conventional medical therapy. The hypothesis of the operation appears to be that reduction (resection) of marginally viable ...
