Can A Child Have Enlarged Heart With No Symptoms?

My son is 3 and wet to the doctors yesterday, had x-rays... the doctor called a few hours later and said that there is a suspicion that his heart may be enlarged, he is very energetic and does not have any symptoms that I have read online.... Is this something that could happen in a few months time frame?
