Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query. I understand your concerns. Cardiac silhouette is nothing but the borders of the heart as seen in X ray. In your case it's slightly enlarged that means heart is enlarges a little.
That's not a serious condition. Do no worry. Do a complete cardiac work up to rule out any major cardiac anamolies.
Hope this helps you
Thank you
