Abstract
For any given body size, men have larger hearts than women, athletes have larger hearts than nonathletes, and often times, an enlarged heart is a symptom of an underlying disorder that is causing the heart to work harder than normal. This review will emphasize the differences between a pathologically enlarged heart and an athletically enlarged heart.
