  • Thanks Doctor you have really cured my anxiety by your soothing words..I was worried when I was told that I have enlarged artial something..I anxiety because of this
  • Thank for this information, my Dad died when I was 9 years old. My mother said he had an enlarged heart and the his valves had become too large, a surgeon her in Salt Lake City, Utah tried to help him but he died shortly after walking up from the surgery. The Doctor said his heart was the size of a football. Please don't delay seeing your doctor for this condition. My father was turned away from the Mayo Clinic because they said they could not help him. A local Dr. here in Utah performed a valve replacement but my father could not survive the second surgery.

    I was diagnosed with an enlarged heart last Thursday after a stress test on the treadmill and an ecosonogram right afterwards but my cardio doctor didn't really explain it too well. He just doubled my bp medication. Metoprolol from 50 to 100. I was so worried about it but I feel a little better after I saw your video, thanks.
