Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am an extremly fit 43 yr old male, and I have just been told that I have an enlarged Rt ventricle and need a TEE. I am an ex college football player, and have remained very active to this date, I am stunned?? If in fact I have a heart issue, how is an enlarged right ventricle treated?
All depends on the degree of enlargement. Mildly enlarged right ventricle is a normal finding among a people who do active sports. In case the enlargement is more than mild the underlying cause should be find out and treated.
Hope I could help you
Wishing you good health
