Should I Be Concerned About An Enlarged Heart?
my 20 year old son who is a firefighter was told today when he had an ekg and stress test done that it showed he had an enlarged heart but that because he is a tall skinny male it was okay not to worry about it is this a true statement or should I be concerned?

Hi i read your query very carefully.
I would like to say don't worry because this is a true statement. Heart parameters are indexed with body heigh and weigh.
However i recommend a second opinion just to assure you and your son.
Hope it was of help!
