+1 to what LadyJane said ... they did an echo, but they wouldn't have done that (I don't think) if the heart had looked normal in an X-ray.
In my dog's case, I didn't know his whole history since I didn't get him until he was about 11 months old. He had routine check-ups every six months, and he was almost three years old, so he had received probably 5 check-ups and they had never a heart murmur. The ultrasound (echocardiogram) didn't pick up any irregularities, such as a bad valve, hole in the heart between chamber, etc that would explain his enlarged heart. Perhaps he was just born that way?
