Cardiomegaly: Enlargement of the Heart

From the term cardiomegaly, it refers to a condition affecting the heart, where the heart is larger than the normal or the typical size (Toth & Cannon, 2019). This condition can either be temporary or permanent depending on its cause. This condition could lead to health failure or stroke. There are several risk factors for cardiomegaly. Among these risk factors include family history, alcohol and drug abuse, hypertension or high blood pressure, sedentary lifestyle, and previous heart attacks.
