The cause of heart enlargement should be found and treat according. Your question is too broad for me to summarise. Get a 2d echo for exact heart pumping. If heart vessel s are blocked, treat it, other medication to make your heart stronger and prevent further enlargement, includes, fluid restriction, drugs which includes groups like beta blocker, ace inhibitors/ arb, diuretic, aldosterone antagonist. Extra depending on the need. However if all investigation and baseline vitals are sent I would be able to help better. Regards
