Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome on -Ask a Doctor- service!
Regarding your concern, I would like to explain that cardiomegaly means that at least one the heart chambers is enlarged above the mean normal values.
This phenomenon may be due to several causes like cardiac ischemia, valvular dysfunction, infection, uncontrolled hypertension, etc.
The treatment will depend on the clinical symptomatogy and the specific undetlying causes.
In order to give a more specific opinion I would need to have more information regarding your clinical history and performed tests (especially your cardiac ultrasound).
IHope to have been helpful to you!
In case of any further questions feel free to ask me again.
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
