What Causes Enlargement Of Heart,leaky Valve And Bulging Of Aortic Artery?
My mom was told by her primary care physician that half of her heart is enlarged, she has a leaky valve, and the aortic artery is bulging. He told her that her heart has probably been like this for a long time. He wants her to come back in 6 months to see if there is a change. Is this normal or should she be seen by a cardiologist??

Enlargement of heart and valve problem are not normal.it is abnormal heart condition like ventricular hypertrophy,valve prolapse.
Heart related problem can be detected by ECG and ECHO.
kindly take her to a cardiologist for better assessment and management as earlier.
