Cardiologist,  's  Response
for low heart only effective treatment is pacemaker. As you mentioned heart is also enlarged then better you should ask your physician to assess for a device called as CRT D. In short for low heart rate treatment is pacemaker unless some cause is found and is treatable like thyroid disease, consumption of any medicine which lowers heart rate, electrolyte abnormalities.
