Overview
There is a large differential for cardiomegaly, as it is a finding that is seen in many conditions. The differential can be narrowed based on the chamber of the heart affected, and whether the cardiomegaly is caused by dilation or by hypertrophy. Other physical findings, imaging studies, and laboratory findings need to be taken into consideration when determining the underlying diagnosis caused the manifestation of an enlarged heart.
