Respected Sir/ Madam
Thanks for your query.
None can predict an individual's life span. However enlargement of heart with ventricular tachycardia is a serious disease. It is better to have an ICD as it known to prevent many sudden deaths. Exact prognosis depends upon the pumping of heart, cause of enlargement, status of valves and symptoms.
