Hi.  my wife is 49 and was diagnosed this afternoon with an enlarged heart.  what are the causes of this. the doctor said that it is early cardiac failure.  about two to three years ago she was diagnosed with sarcoid.  currently she is on treatment for hypertension and diabetes.
Hi, now there are two possibilities one since you already have sarcoma, it may be due to acidosis affecting heart. You mentioned patient is on treatment for hypertension and diabetes, so it's possible that patient has blockages in heart leading to enlargement. So she should undergo MRI heart and if needed heart biopsy and then treatment for acidosis otherwise it's a progressive disease. Also, she'll angiography for knowing blockages. So do visit local cardiologist and get back if you have any questions.
