Cardiologist,  's  Response
The RADIO FREQUENCY ABLATION procedure is a very safe procedure and the heart do not get enlarged because of it. I feel u should consult ur cardiologist regarding ur enlarged heart as it may be due to some other reason. The pain you're having, on your description doesn't seem to be worrisome. I feel you should leave it alone. if it's too much then you should consult a physician.
