What Exercises Can Be Performed In Case Of Cardiomegaly?

I have been diagnosed with cardiomegaly and the doctor is trying to rule out the cause by having me stop running for a period of 3 months to see if the heart dilation decreases. He believes it may be a case of athlete's heart, but wants to be sure. I wanted to know what other types of safe exercise may be performed safely that will not keep my heart from reducing in size, if in fact the dilation is due to the large amount of running I have been doing.
