Hi... probably your pediatrician is right. I too feel that she will just require a follow up and nothing else. But I will tell you the red flag signs when you need to worry about her enlarged heart - if she has severe respiratory distress or breathing problem or fast heart rate or abdominal distension and swelling of the feet, then I suggest you get in touch with your pediatrician.
