I work in Cardiology.....
Yes - an ultrasound (an echocardiogram) is the test to do....
I know an enlarged heart sounds very scary - and, yes- it can be serious, but before you get too worried - wait and see what they learn from the ultrasound. Hopefully, it may turn out not to be so serious after all.....
PS - An ultrasound is a much more definitive exam and can tell the doctor much more about the heart than an x-ray can.
Best of luck - Carol Jean |
