Answers:
An enlarged left ventricle is generally either due to cardiomyopathy or valvular heart disease.
If his enlarged left ventricle is due to any valve disease, then once the underlying valve problem is treated, this generally will sort the problem out. Sometimes this can be controlled with drug therapy, but often surgery is needed.
The usual cause of an enlarged left ventricle is cardiomyopathy. Drugs like diuretics, ACE inhibitors and/or ARB inhibitors and beta blockers are generally first line management.
This is just general advise, everything really depends on your Fiance's actual underlying cause, other factors and the severity.Health Question & Answer

Ask him! If he's told you this much, and you're contemplating a life together, you deserve accurate answers to your questions...but each of us is different, so his enlarged ventricle may mean little or it may mean he's nearly a cardiac cripple. Don't rush into marriage; get those answers first.Health Question & Answer
question is vague. How did he discover heart is enlarged and why.? What is the cause of the enlarged heart.? Many healthy young athletes have very enlarged hearts which is a normal consequence of strenuous exercise. You seem very anxious aabout this. So if someone were to say this could mean he is more prone to a dysrhythmia, would you then just dump him. Why are you asking.?Health Question & Answer
