Effect of Hiatal hernia on enlarged heart.

Effect of Hiatal hernia on enlarged heart.

Posted By Phil on January 04, 1999 at 09:46:53:







I recently saw a reference to an article in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology on a study of the effect of hiatal hernias on an enlarged heart in CHF, however the complete article was not available. I seem to develop a fairly debilitating chest pain primarily following eating a large meal.  It is not typical reflux pain, but fairly deep and generalized.  It abates when I lie down.  I have a small hiatal hernia and have been treated for idiopathic CHF with unreversible atrial fibrilation for about 5 years.  Do you have any information on the relationship of hiatal hernias on CHF.  Thank you.
