I have recently had an echocardiogram. My
doctor said that it was fine and the blood
flow was good. She also said it showed I
had an enlarged valve in the left
ventrical. I am extremely overweight and
she said she expected as much since I am
overweight and the muscle has to work
harder. My question is, since she made
this sound like no big deal, although that
doesn't sound normal to me, does this
mean, if I don't lose weight, that it
could cause malfunction down the road?
