healthy 62

Hello everyone I am Dr. Huang Zhaoqi, today, let me talk to you about the enlarged heart. We see the picture showing two different hearts, one of a normal female and one of a heart patient.



Both are 22 years old, but the hearts are very different.


What are the effects of an enlarged heart?


Normally, the size of the heart should be no more than 1 of our chest cavity, and we see that the heart of this heart patient in the picture has enlarged to nearly 65% or 70% of its size.


Then with the enlargement of the heart, the function of the heart will be affected, and we imagine that there is a decrease in the function of a balloon when it appears to be infinitely expanded, and the function of the heart is closely related to our mobility.

So what happens when the heart expands?


There are many diseases of the heart that we call heart, which can lead to the enlargement of the heart. For example, hypertension, long-term poorly controlled blood pressure, such as severe coronary artery disease, severe ischemia of the heart, such as our valvular disease, or our cardiomyopathy, etc. All these cardiovascular diseases may cause the enlargement of the heart.


Will the heart enlargement be reversed?


The enlargement of the heart can be slowed down or even reversed if treated with standard medications.


But there is an important prerequisite, that is to standardize the use of drugs, but we also need to treat the underlying causes of heart enlargement, for example, if your blood pressure is not well controlled, you must control your blood pressure well, you can make your heart enlargement may be reversed.
