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

"Life-threatening causes include conditions which result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated."
