Elasticity! I've been trying to figure out what people mean by valves "wearing out" and you just answered it. Thank you sir you're a life saver.

My grandma has an enlarged heart , I am very worried about her. Please keep her in your prayers 🙏🏽💕

Thank for this information, my Dad died when I was 9 years old. My mother said he had an enlarged heart and the his valves had become too large, a surgeon her in Salt Lake City, Utah tried to help him but he died shortly after walking up from the surgery. The Doctor said his heart was the size of a football. Please don't delay seeing your doctor for this condition. My father was turned away from the Mayo Clinic because they said they could not help him. A local Dr. here in Utah performed a valve replacement but my father could not survive the second surgery.

Thank you! On my way to take my mother to see her cardiologist after being told she has an enlarged heart. Prayers

Thanks Doc….. l feel much better since I watched this video 🙏🙏

I was diagnosed with an enlarged heart last Thursday after a stress test on the treadmill and an ecosonogram right afterwards but my cardio doctor didn't really explain it too well. He just doubled my bp medication. Metoprolol from 50 to 100. I was so worried about it but I feel a little better after I saw your video, thanks.

Dr sanjay gupta sir I have enlighten my mind for the second time with your very useful explanation if enlarged heart and advice to follow thanks 25/06/2021

Very informative video.

It is ashame the NHS is finished and failing the people who fund it through taxation - as this explanation is excellent! Enjoy it whilst it's still free - before the pay wall kicks in!

I begin to believe that many, maybe most people, do not want details on their condition. There are, however analyticals who understand physics, maybe biology, electronics, mechanical, process control and automation, and troubleshooting. Decades ago a physical (a GP I guess) suggested I had an enlarged heart but I was young and it was lamely dismissed by the first cardiologist (my parents' doctor) I ever had. That one looked at an x-ray and held up his fist and rotated it, obviously implying the old "rule of thumb" we seemed to hear that one's heart should be about as large as one's fist. I left it at that. Eventually I left that one because he would become irritated when I had questions and brought in things that I was trying to reconcile (build into my mental model) for my understanding. He felt that I was questioning his evaluation. This occurred more than once, not discussing me, rather Mom and Dad. I have had my current cardiologist for I guess 30 or more years. He told me I had an enlarged heart. Of course I asked where and how, and whether it was as compared to prior Echo Cardiograms and other tests or applying "standards" to my most recent echo. He started with saying it was the "muscle" so I asked, "the wall or septum" to which he said responded to the effect of "septum, well actually the whole muscle". Another visit he pointed to a drawing, indicating my upper right, quadrant that I inferred as possibly the descending aorta. The next time he said it was on top of the heart in a more or less horizontal part of the vessel. Such vague and conflicting information is what bugs me. I expect other factors are involved, such as what I did at work and play as I was growing up, ancestral lineage perhaps, heart rhythm and rates, blood pressure, responses to stress, and many others. I'll get another to look and hopefully find one who will explain my specific condition as you have so well in general here. Thanks!

Thanks for your advice

Hello Dr. My BF was just diagnosed with “giant atria” after an ablation for Atrial Flutter. This procedure was successful but can you speak to what this new diagnosis means? Can he take lifestyle measures to help with this?

I’m so worried! I was told I have an enlarged heart and I’m only 31! Doctor started me on BP meds! I was already in the process of losing weight and eating healthier but this really scared me. Doctor said it could be reversed. So I’m keeping that hope. I’m trying my best not to worry.

Doc may i ask if enlarged heart will go back to its original size?

It’s so good to listen you

Thanks sir for this video. What we have to do if we had found enerlaged heart

I'm 44 and just found out I have a "mildly enlarged heart". It was by accident during a stomach CT with contrast. Now what? I've felt bad for years with exercise tolerance. I requested a stress test a year ago and the doctor basically said no. Which I found odd as I've had such had problems with long Covid. I've also had several syncope episodes. many Doctors in the US are horrible. I wish I could see you as my doctor

Thank you for the information ❤

Good day doctor, i always watch your videos regarding PVCs everynight and you are the reason sometimes ease my worries. I was suffering with palpitations these previous months. I decided to go to the doctor and I had all my test including holters and echo. After all the test, I was diagnosed with cardiac arrythmia - PAC and PVC. My doctor suspects that the cause of my PVCs is because i have a dilated ventricle and dilated atrium (moderate enlarge heart). I have high cholesterol and triglycerides too. My doctor gave me (metoprolol) beta blockers 25mg and was divided into 4 (6mg per day) for my palpitations and in 3 weeks of medications nothing was change and i feel its getting worse day by day. Is this can be cure? How worse is my heart? Is my enlarge heart reversible and can back to normal? Is this an early sign of cardiomyopathy? I so worried right now because my PVC don't stop. Please answer me, i cannot enjoy my life now, i was in strict diet and avoid all triggers but nothing has changed. I want to go back on my normal life please HELP me

This to u very much...a lot of help

Hello What does it mean when the ekg shows possible left atrial enlargement with pronged QT as compared with another EKG from a year ago. I have a history of PAC’s PVC’s but recently went to E R because I am noticing them when I begin exercising. This is new for me- when I had them in the past, nothing in particular brought them on. Now I am concerned that exercising is making a possible condition worse. I am very active bike 30+ miles a day and hike at our place in Colorado which is very high altitude. Any advice? PS- I consulted with you online a few years ago about my palpitations.
