General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

Generally, heart is enlarged in long term hypertension. Other causes like cardiomyopathy must be ruled out as well.

Consult a cardiologist and get evaluated. An echo test is required for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
