About Cardiomegaly

Cardiomegaly is not a medical procedure but a clinical finding indicating an enlarged heart, typically diagnosed by a cardiologist through imaging tests. It is a sign of underlying heart conditions rather than a treatment itself. The cardiologist evaluates cardiomegaly using chest X-rays, echocardiograms, or cardiac MRI to assess heart size, structure, and function. This diagnosis helps identify causes such as hypertension, heart valve disease, or cardiomyopathy. Management focuses on treating the root condition with medications, lifestyle changes, or procedures like surgery or device implantation. Early detection through cardiomegaly assessment is crucial to prevent complications like heart failure or arrhythmias, emphasizing the importance of specialized cardiology care for heart health.

PATIENT REVIEW

I'd been feeling off for months,...

I'd been feeling off for months, tired all the time with weird aches. A couple of other doctors just shrugged. Dr. Shrivarthan was different. He actually listened, asked a ton of questions I hadn't thought about, and ordered some specific tests. Turns out it was a thyroid issue that wasn't showing up on the standard panel. He explained it all in a way that finally made sense. I'm on treatment now and starting to feel like myself again.
