Overview
Cardiomegaly is often caused by hypertension, but it can also occur as a result of other heart conditions, such as congestive heart failure. Common causes of cardiomegaly due to dilation of the myocardium (not hypertrophy) are dilated cardiomyopathy (non-ischemic cardiomyopathy) and ischemic heart disease.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes

Common Causes
- Cardiomyopathy
- Congestive heart failure
- Hypertensive heart disease
