What Are Complications Of Small Heart?
I'm a 65 year old female, 5'6", weight 195, taking anti-depressants. Otherwise in good health. I have a small heart. Having this are there any health issues I could have? I've had stress tests done, but haven't had any issues. My father had by-pass surgery, then died 15 years later of heart failure. Can having the small heart cause a stroke?

Dear Mrs,
You have normal stress test, which means that there is no coronary artery disease and your heart sizes are enough for your organism.
For avoiding further problems, I would advise you to try to have normal weight, exercise regularly and follow healthy lifestyle.
Take care
