What is another word for enlarged heart?
Pronunciation: [ɛnlˈɑːd͡ʒd hˈɑːt] (IPA) 
Enlarged heart, medically known as cardiomegaly, refers to an abnormality in the size of the heart, characterized by an increase in its volume. There are many synonyms for this medical condition, including dilated cardiomyopathy, left ventricular hypertrophy, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Dilated cardiomyopathy is often caused by various factors such as high blood pressure, heart valve disease, or a viral infection. Left ventricular hypertrophy, on the other hand, is a condition where the walls of the heart's left ventricle thicken, causing the heart to enlarge. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic disease that causes thickening of the heart muscle, leading to an enlarged heart. Despite the different names for the condition, the treatment remains the same, and it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately.
