They may have unusual facial features that are often described as " coarse, " seizures, bone malformations, enlarged liver and spleen ( hepatosplenomegaly ), and an enlarged heart ( cardiomegaly ).

Investigations which can confirm the diagnosis are fetal chest x-ray, which will show hyperinflation, diaphragmatic flattening, cardiomegaly, patchy atelectasis and consolidation, and ABG samples, which will show decreased oxygen levels.
23.
An autopsy found that Xenia Rhodes, 11, died of cardiomegaly _ an enlarged heart _ brought on by morbid obesity, said Tammy Schroder, the senior death investigator with the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office.
24.
Cardiopulmonary involvement is manifested by increased respiratory rate, use of accessory muscles for respiration, recurrent chest infections, decreased air entry in the left lower zone ( due to cardiomegaly ), arrhythmias and evidence of heart failure.
25.
Quoting Athletic heart syndrome; " " this syndrome is believed to be a benign condition but may be hard to distinguish from other serious medical conditions . " " See also, Ventricular hypertrophy and Cardiomegaly, though it appears you may have already.
26.
Less common side effects include : congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction, cardiomyopathy, cardiomegaly, complete heart block, atrial fibrillation, cerebrovascular accident, pericarditis, pulmonary infiltrates, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, pancreatitis, gastric / duodenal ulceration, renal impairment / failure and seizure.
27.
Chest X-rays are frequently used to aid in the diagnosis of CHF . In a person who is compensated, this may show cardiomegaly ( visible enlargement of the heart ), quantified as the " cardiothoracic ratio " ( proportion of the heart size to the chest ).
28.
Non-lifestyle "'risk factors "'include family history of cardiomegaly, coronary artery disease ( CAD ), congenital heart failure, Atherosclerotic disease, valvular heart disease, exposure to cardiac toxins, sleep disordered breathing ( such as sleep apnea ), sustained cardiac arrhythmias, abnormal electrocardiograms, and cardiomegaly on chest X-ray.

30.
Across several trials, 0.6 % of oral sotalol patients with supraventricular arrhythmias ( such as atrial fibrillation ) developed TdP . For patients who had a history of sustained ventricular tachycardia ( abnormal rhythm lasting more than 30 seconds ), 4 % developed TdP . Risk increases with dosage, female sex, or having a history of cardiomegaly or congestive heart failure.
