The severity of an enlarged heart is related to the location and extent of the enlargement; for the treatment of an enlarged heart, it is important to find out the cause of the enlargement.
The heart is divided into four chambers, the left atrium and the right atrium, the left atrium and the right and left ventricles; ventricular enlargement tends to be more serious than atrial enlargement; because the ventricles carry the body’s important function of transporting blood, the enlargement of the left ventricle or the right ventricle will inevitably affect the pumping function of the heart.
Heart enlargement to a certain extent, such as ischemic factors and coronary artery disease, can lead to the formation of ventricular wall tumor; ventricular wall tumor will lead to thinning of the heart, which, if left unchecked, may lead to heart rupture and become a risk factor for death.
It is recommended that patients should not judge or diagnose on their own based on one result, but should consult a doctor in a timely manner, who will make a comprehensive analysis, clear judgment and treatment according to the specific situation.
